In this part 2 we install the new Rally Tower / Navigation Tower for my Honda CRF300L. Next video will include test rides and testing those lights in the dark. Without forgetting comparisons to the stock setup of course so like and subscribe! Turn on those notifications to see the next ones too :-)
The tower was very easy to setup and there was not much quidance needed but I hope you get some help on the install or deciding whether to get this product or not from this video. Enjoy me stumbling about with the tools :)
Important weights I measured:
The Rally Tower with all the brackets and bolts: +2903g (+6.4 pounds)
The nav mount I took off was: -103g (-0.23 pounds)
Honda stock light with the lower mount and bolts: -1059g (-2.33 pounds)
So in total I end up with only +1741g (+3.84 pounds) added compared to the stock setup. I would say that is well worth the benefits from this conversion!
This is NOT a sponsored video. I bought and paid for the product myself.
Company: Adventure Men Cave
Instructions: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Models with led headlight will require some electrical modifications to make this setup work.
Here is a video of someone installing this to LED headlight bike: • Part 1: Lindie's Bike ...

So how do you do the lightbeam height alignment, so you would not blind the oncoming traffic?
@PatchedBandit 5 ай бұрын
Easy to adjust by loosening the attachment points on the lights themselves but I didn't need to do any of that so far. The lights seem to be pointed pretty much where I want them straight from the box. I have a good comparison to stock vs this setup coming in the last part 3 next friday 😊

Off topic a bit, but cool watch man, that's one of my favourite Seikos. I'm wearing a SARB017 Alpinist as I type this ;)
@PatchedBandit 19 күн бұрын
Very nice! I've had that watch too at some point. I was quite a 'watch nut' before I got seriously sick couple of years ago. I sold all my watches to fund the situation and recovery time. Very short story of a very complex situation 😪 I had a lot of Seikos and Omegas. Two of my favorite brands. I fell in love with this panda dial Seiko just this spring even though I havent really been following the scene at all in the past couple of years. I had to buy it and it has been great! No charging it daily like my apple watch that I monitored my heath with couple of years 😄 Fun to see someone notice the watch. You are the first and only I think 😁
@KiwiPokerPlayer 19 күн бұрын
@@PatchedBandit oh man, sorry to hear you had to sell your collection, glad you're in better health now. That panda has been a big hit in both the Seiko and wider watch communities ever since it was released, you have great taste. New day here and today I'm wearing my SKX007, J version.
@PatchedBandit 19 күн бұрын
Also had the J version! My brother still has it on his wrist 😊 Seems like you have good taste too 😄✌️ J is hard to come by here in Finland. Had to order it from Asia back in the day.
@KiwiPokerPlayer 19 күн бұрын
@@PatchedBandit yes! They were impossible to find down here in New Zealand too, and even if you could find the K version they were absurdly overpriced. I got mine from Asia too, Jomashop maybe? It's been a while. The reason I found this video is I'm researching for my very first bike. Have narrowed it down to the new Himalayan 450, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X and either the CRX300L or the CRX Rally. If I go with the 300L I'll want to add a tower like this. I realised recently that I've been around the world twice but haven't really explored my own country, what better way to do that than on a motorcycle?
@PatchedBandit 19 күн бұрын
You are on a right track! Bike is the absolute best way to SMELL the country 😅 Picking a bike is very personal and depends on how and where you like to ride. All good options but very different. I suggest to test ride as many as you possibly can to get a better feeling on the options. CRF is definitely a great option but for more agressive rides it does require some changes to the suspension. That bein said it's not like the Scramblers/cafe racers have a great offroad suspension either 😊

Was there any reason you went for the adventure men cave tower over the one adventure tower that rally raid sells? Great content by the way

Based the decision just on the pictures online. This was mostly aluminium instead of plastic so I hope it will cope a bit better long term.

So you did not wire up the USB voltmeter?
@PatchedBandit 5 ай бұрын
There is a usb socket on the side of the tower and it's already wired. Nothing else needs doing but to plug the light socket to the tower. I'm pretty sure there is no voltmeter with this tower but it would be easy to install one.

@@PatchedBandit I had to remove the light many times. Had several USB socket failed, cheap and expensive ones. Solution is to use external USB adapter which I remove after a ride. It works for more than a year now without issues. Only thing that stays on bike is waterproof 12v car socket.

It makes me laugh that Honda can’t produce a Tower for the bike and release the Bike how people want it. Or at least make it an option. The 300 Rally looks utterly ridiculous. 😂 If it wasn’t ridiculous why then isn’t it on their Dakar Bikes? 😮 Fix it, Honda, and you might actually sell more motorbikes. People aren’t stupid. They like what they like. And your bike…not so much.
@PatchedBandit Ай бұрын
For more demanding enduro this bike rquires a LOT of mods. Cost on mine is probably not ”smart” 😆 but its fun with the suspension, powertunes etc. Would I do it all again? Maybe not but it has been fun to do 1 time 😄
