I’ve been a tank bag advocate for a long time. Until the last trip to Touratech Rally last weekend. Made contact with the nuggets 8 times. “The more you know…..”
A lot of times there is a dot on the tire marking the lightest spot (you can actually see it on the rear in the video. If you figure out the heaviest spot on the rim, put the lightest spot of the tire over it and you will use the least amount of weights.
Oddly enough, few know of this. My CRF300L came with the dot centered over the valve stems as it the dot is designed for. I recently had tires put on my car and the dots were all over the place and not centered on the valve stems. smh
I have been doing a lot of research into getting this bike for trips exactly like this. Get all kits and bags on it and slink right into the desert and around Canada. Been a fan of your videos since way back in the day and this is probably the first video I have watched of yours in a year or so hehehe even the image for my UA-cam account is still your picture from what has to be my freshman sophomore year in highschool. Going into my senior year at college now man and finally its time for a nice bike seeing this video really gets me jived out
Hey Jake! Small tip for the rotopax. It tends to sand off the paint of the rear rack if you drive around in sandy areas. I would recommend putting a couple of bolts with some washers in the 4 holes you have left, which will raise the rotopax up from the rear rack. This will prevent your paint getting damaged! I used carriage/coach bolts.
the crf300l has polypropylene (molded in color) left side plate panel and acrylic butyl styrene (painted white) on the right side for better heat resistance.
I have a Versys-x 300 with luggage and go almost everywhere this thing goes. Mine came with luggage and all. New it's $400 cnd more than the L. Now that's what I call a small displacement adventure bike.
This is where the 300L and Rally are unique and shine. Adventure bikes with the actual capability for adventure, as compared to $20K 600lb pigs with all terrain tires.
Looking good. I didn't think I'd need a tank bag until I took my 2.8k trip on the Tenere, last month. I got the larger Nelson Rigg tank bag and it worked great with only a couple downsides. I was hitting rain often and if I was running my maps while charging my phone under the rain cover, it would start getting overheated. And the raincover isn't stored easily, rather bulky so I had to store it in another bag or else it would take up space in the tank bag. The TUSK brand one seems alittle better but they were out of stock at the time.
In general I've given up on having a phone out while riding. They overheat with the sun hitting them, breaks the camera if on the bars. The Garmin XT is the way!!! So much better, worth the money.
Those rotapack things are so handy. I need to add them to something....just so I have them. Ugly maybe....but so much usefulness!!!! I'm a terrible patron I'm sorry :D I never talk.
This will be a fun ride. I'm looking forward to the "Freestyle" CRF300L. lol. Kidding, although I'm sure someone could do one back flip on a 300 since they are up the 3 now on dirt bikes. You always do nice work Jake! I've learned a couple of new tricks from watching your videos. 🙂

Do you work for SpaceX ? I did (Cali). Fell just short of the 5yr ‘threshold’, which is the general target (though few achieve) ….. Miss much of the experience. Tiny Tip for viewers: any nut/bolt that has a semi or fully vertical orientation, Always put nut on BOTTOM. If you were ever (for some odd reason, but …) to have them come loose you want the Nut falling off. At least you have minimal holding of (part) while bolt is still in place. The opposite ensures that you have Zero holding of said part …. ymmv
Your Feed has fab content! I enjoy each video. You clearly put loads of valuable time into production. One note, your staccato monologue delivery and aggressive video splicing is irritating. It’s possible other viewers might agree. Cheers!
Hey love your vids. I have the 300l rally. Looking to put a performance exhaust but I do multi day adv rides camping and so have a set of soft bags. Heat shield? I have yet to see an aftermarket exhaust that comes with one. Don't want to fry my bags. Thoughts?
That looks a great setup, and them Motoz Tractionators are aces, got a set on my Aprilia Tuareg 660. Although I don't like tank bags generally, that one did look super handy for squirrelling useful things away that you might want easy access to. Which size was that one, was it the 4.4l?
Hi Jake, How does the CRFL300 compare to a XR650 on the the trails, around town, on the highway, ...? I am looking for bike that I can use for trail riding, back country fun, and commuting. It looks like an XR600 weighs a little less than the crf300L and noticeably less than the 650 and I have wondering if an upgraded vintage bike works about as well as an upgraded CRF300L....
I actually don't know if it's a good idea to add so much liquid / weight so far back so up high... Same with the panniers. As far forward towards the center of masses would be the better option. You only need space under your butt and to the aft, so that you can weigh/deweigh the bike properly in narlier terrain...
Hey Jake not sure if you’ll see this but I seen in the video you mentioned an audio system what is the system you are looking at? I’ve been searching for a system for my 300l and can’t seem to find much info on decent setups
Do you think those adventure spec supports would help protect the plastics and rear signals (stock) if I dump the bike? I put the TREX crash bars on the engine but I'm looking for some kind of crash cage for the back.
Hi Dean, the racks are perfect for this. Strong but lightweight! More info: www.adventurespec.com/shop/adventure-spec-honda-crf300l-crf300-rally-side-luggage-support-rack-940?category=2&search=crf300l&order=name+asc#attr=1016
Adventure spec should have at least painted the raw mounting brackets. Better yet they should have done it the same way they did the racks. What an eye sore, they missed out on that small detail.
I guess I really didn't even notice that. It didn't bother me but if it did bit of rattle can. I can do some automotive grade paint jobs with rattle cans hahaha.
Might be something we do in the future! With this being a fairly new product and offering different colours we stuck with raw brackets. We're developing all the time, so we'll look at this next

This one's up high enough that I don't see that happening!
The mini faring is surprisingly effective at blocking wind. I've enjoyed mine alot.

Love all your vids Jake..But a waay cool Itchy Boots shout out. Her journey has been amazing.
In bed with COVID. Completed Netflix and UA-cam and I’m thinking, where the fuck are you Jake.
Well here you are.
Muchas gracias
haha sorry, the public videos are like 3 behind cuz of ads that need to be approved. Just the nature of the beast.
@@TheGardenSnake best get on that patreon 💪
Giant Loop perfect gear setup for these bikes !!!
Ngl kinda the reason I got an mt07 in the year yellow, Shame Northern Ireland ain't got no where to make it worth the adventure set up
This is the direction I am taking the same direction with my 300 Rally.

At some point I really want to
This is such a cool setup!!! awesome job jake cant wait to see your motovlog on it
Man your lil intro skits always crack me up, "beyond Starbucks" on a adventure build, good stuff, keep the videos coming .
This is where the 300L and Rally are unique and shine. Adventure bikes with the actual capability for adventure, as compared to $20K 600lb pigs with all terrain tires.
that rear wheel looks amazing tho
I took those nelson rig product photos back in the day with the old ktm 450. Funny to see them on your video. Great stuff!
Literally saw the same dope part for the exhaust

At the end of the video, it's kind of funny to see the stock Monster sitting there next to both of those bikes that are so heavily modified! 😆
haha yeah if it was mine it wouldn't look like that
Those rotapack things are so handy. I need to add them to something....just so I have them. Ugly maybe....but so much usefulness!!!!

Awesome brother. Got yourself a new subscriber!!
I do Baja trips and this will be a great setup. Thanks.
the Metzlers are DOT just a FYI, I have them on my 300L
Same here, on my wr, mc360 road legal in europe
not the one's I have, those are full on off road tires
what a great build!!!!!! always top notch!

Are they Canadian? Thought they were from Utah.
@@TheGardenSnake red n white lol .... I havemt a clue where they are from lol
Great job as usual! Thanks for the information!
I really want to see Jake do offroad on the Supermoto setup.
Actually just put a video up of that on patreon. A public version will be out in a few weeks.
my crf 250 l hads 40k km still runs like a champ
Nice touch wearing your Aussie work boots while fitting Aussie tyres 🏆
Oh dang I missed that. Could've done another silly thing hahaha.
@@TheGardenSnake be careful they're generally reserved for Aussies, others be like "oh no.... I've got no mo toz" 🤦

The Metzeller MC360 mid-hard are DOT rated. Double check the sidewall on DOT markings. Moto Z is not what Ozzies call it. It's Mot OZ. Oztralia. Haha
Killer content brother. Thank you.
Ad killed the video.
Could be fun, if you and Itchy Boots did a meet up. And compared your bikes...
hit me up if you ever come to the ozarks,north arkansas southern Missouri I'll so ya around
I bought the mini fairing from the previous version and it broke, now I have the Zeta one.
Great video brotha
Take spare bolts you lose bolts on enduros even though they start of tight you have to check every day
Jake really needs to sell that headlight bracket to Baja designs.I want it so bad
haha I tried to make it as DIY for you as I can but it is a bit of work
@@TheGardenSnake yeah there's absolutely no way mine would come out that good
@@jameszanghi3564 I will say that you don't see it for the most part so...

I would look at Mosko Moto luggage system instead
i noticed with most my aftermarket exhausts they never really get hot enough to burn stuff anyway , compared to stock which are un touchable
Maybe some carbon cans but most will definitely burn bags.
I'd like to know what the brand of hand guards are for this build and the mirror combo because I really like those!

Jake when you get to abq let’s make time to do a quick ride I have a wr400 super moto and always wanted to meet you
I've already been back from this trip for about two months
MOE-TAWS mate, not moto-z ;). They're Aussie, get it? Moto, Aussie. Cool setup, looking forward to the rest of the trip videos
Well done video. Dork sent me.
Does this mean you cannot remove the tank bag from the bike, like at a hotel, without unwiring the charger cable?
Don't throw your back out lifting those Motoz's. Poor little 300...
Put the plate on you’ve overlooked metal fatigue
Happy Happy... 👍😁🤘🏼

Does the mini faring provide blockage from wind?
this video kep playing a commercial for metalcloak, a jeep suspension and parts company. Whats up with that?
don't lick lead weights? But they taste so sweet!
Would it be possible to just weigh your rimlock on a scale and put the same amount on the opposite side?
Sure I guess but you should really balance them. You can do it on the axle if it’s lose and brake/chain aren’t connected.

i run mc360 on my exc 500 in England - fully road legal here, man they screw you on some stupid shi7 over there
What do mean? The mc360s not being legal? They are actually, I misspoke. But they wouldn’t last for such a long trip.
Is there any advantage of the abs over the non- abs in this bike?
Stickers. It's not an adv bike w/o stickers
This video is just an advertisement for those companies. He got all of those items free.
How much weight did all that crap add?
720p?
That's weird, it was 2k on my end
@@TheGardenSnake Still 720p for me even now. Guess it's on me then. No worries
So was this an old video then? Cause the upcoming ADV fest is in South Dakota.
