Just put the T Rex windshield on my 300l yesterday. Me too, couldn’t decide if I wanted to do so, so stayed in the box for a year. Now, very pleased. Looks great.

I’ve been following along as well ever since you’ve created videos on the LS. I couldn’t find an LS near me, so picked up a 300L yesterday. Love your mods so far! Have you noticed a difference in weight since adding the crash bars?

@On2Feet 10 ай бұрын

I have not noticed any weight difference when navigating off road. With that said, the crash bars are likely the heaviest accessory I added. Enjoy your new 300! I'm having a blast on mine.

@chris_8806 9 ай бұрын

hey man i love your videos and the attention to detail you put in them. you seem very informative about this bike and i wanted to ask if you think this bike and the crf300l standard are the same …OTHER then the height…i want to put a tst rear fender delete and im curious if their crf300l lighting system will work with the crf300ls, i’ve emailed them directly and they said they haven’t tested it on the crf300ls so i figured i’d ask someone who’s actually seen the ls upfront and close in person

@On2Feet 9 ай бұрын

As far as I can tell, the differences (other than the color scheme) are all related to the height. This means a slightly lower suspension and ground clearance...as well as a slightly thinner seat. I suppose one other difference is that you cannot get the LS without ABS. The only model available is ABS. I've looked on Honda's website and it doesn't appear there are any other differences listed either.

@On2Feet 9 ай бұрын

....One other note is that because of the slightly different dimensions, some accessories don't fit quite right (as was discovered with my crash bars rubbing on the front fender)

@twloughlin 10 ай бұрын

A very nice video - your bike is shaping up nicely! I am curious about one thing. You ride on some pretty technical and chunky trails. Have you ever considered a dual sport helmet for that kind of riding, and, more importantly, a helmet with a better safety rating than your generic DOT, such as a SNELL rating or an ECE rating? I'd be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks.

@On2Feet 10 ай бұрын

Yes! I have a much better helmet that I wear when off road (Arai XD-4). This orange helmet is just my commuting ("in town") helmet for going back and forth to work and the coffee shop. I guess I would add that while the i70 isn't officially SNELL rated, it still scored relatively high (4/5), so it's not terrible. I would not wear it when doing anything off-road though as you note. billyscrashhelmets.com/hjc-i70-full-face-motorcycle-crash-helmet-review/

Hello, I enjoy your site. How do I access the Honda accessory Plug behind the head light? (besides look behind the headlight?)

@On2Feet 6 ай бұрын

I think with the accessory wire I bought it had a schematic showing where to look. I can tell you this. It was on the right side and just behind the housing. I didn't have to remove anything and there was a very visible and clearly capped plug tucked up behind the light. I believe it was inside one of those shiny vinyl/rubber boots. If you look behind the light on the right side, look for that boot, and you should see the capped plug there. There's a picture on the site here that I think is accurate - the last picture on the page: (www.srcmoto.com/collections/electrical-accessories-crf-300l-rally/products/do-it-yourself-plug-play-accessory-lead-honda-crf-250l-rally)

Hey great info. I have the Flatland racing radiator guard and Outback Motortek crash bar. The strut bar does fit with the radiator Guard. So I have been using it without the strut bar…. :/ I just want to make sure the SRC moto radiator guard clears the outback motortek strut bar?

@On2Feet 4 ай бұрын

I had this same problem. I tried to use the flatland racing guard and it caught on the bottom. I also didn't like that it left the upper portion of the radiator exposed and I didn't like how it pushed out the plastic fairing on the right side of the bike. I pitched it for the SRC guard. The SRC guard works perfect and uses all factory equipment. Yes it's not braced to the side bar as hefty as the flatland guard, but with my extra engine protection bars, I'm ok with that.

Hi. How do you like the colour after having the bike for a while? In my country I can get the 300l in either red or swift grey. I love the grey but just wonder if it’s safer to go for red so cars might see me better. Have you had any issues with being seen? Thanks for the video, some really useful insights for a new owner like me!

@On2Feet 4 ай бұрын

I haven't noticed an obvious difference with respect to my visibility. I just sort of operate on the assumption that no one sees me anyway. I did have the bright red Trail 125 for a year, and now this CRF300LS for a year (in grey) and it doesn't feel any different. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Honda Red, so was really excited that the LS came in the swift grey/orange. It suits my tastes much better (and has fun topo line graphics). Incidentally, I had always wanted the lime green Trail 125 here in the US as opposed to the bright red...and the new 2024 model now comes in that green!

@killingtime8612 4 ай бұрын

Was it difficult to install the SRC skid plate? I bought it based on your review. I don’t feel comfortable removing engine bolts in general. Will I need a second set of hands?

@On2Feet 9 ай бұрын

It wasn't difficult to install and it did require removing the one engine bolt. I had no problem doing it alone. With that said, the T-Rex racing skid plate bolts right on without having to remove engine bolts if you'd prefer not to do that. If I could go back, I'd probably get that one, but it's not worth spending the extra money now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m looking to do zeta hand guards like yours as well and I was wondering what the metal cap is at the end of your Handle bar set up is? It looks so good. I wanted to mount the hand guards to the adapter that goes to the front forks zeta has for sale but before I get anything I wanted to know what hardware 6mm bolts you used and what the end cap was.
