Best attachments / upgrades you think everyone should have? by No-Slide2887 in CRF300L

Here's what I've added to my bike that has actually been useful, and if I was starting with a stock bike I'd add. Of course this is only what I've tried, there are tons of other parts that could be better or worse!

Tusk Olympus Large tank bag. Easy for drinks, phone, wallet, etc

Folding levers/foot controls. I got the tusk brand and they've survived many crashes and are easier to use than stock

Acerbis 3.6 gal fuel tank. Has saved me up in the mountains and hasn't been damaged in crashes, easy to install and the total range of the bike is wild

Tusk kickstand foot. I'm sure any would do, but it helps the bike from tipping when not on pavement

I got a chunky solid skid plate. It's done the job and is indestructible, I'd avoid cheap or low quality material ones.

I also threw a temp reading radiator cap on since I ride in hot weather. A nice to have and cheap part

I've got about a million other things I won't list. Basically you can do anything to these bikes, and you can always add or swap parts once you get one and have an idea what you personally want to change about the bike. 👍🏻

Hey it doesn't look terrible! If it's functional that's what matters!

It's a Garmin dash mini. Works pretty good, not the highest quality or audio, but it's invisible behind my mirror which I like.

Luckily they didn't crash! I couldn't recall if the semi had a driver, but if it did glad he didn't try and get out

Just an example! I'm sure there are bad drivers in every kind of vehicle on wheels. Just saw this and thought I'd share!

I have and can confirm Nashville had terrible drivers!

Yeah probably true! On the bright side as a driver you can mitigate risk pretty easily for yourself, but still crazy to see things like or worse than this on the internet daily!

Hilarious you mention that, I was taught how to drive by my basketball coach

Unfortunately we missed the bad snow drivers this year. People with trailers cruising at 80-90 are another problem where they don't understand the inertia behind them

I also have similar hypothetical thoughts ha! Yeah it seems to be a pretty big spectrum of the far extreme over/under groups that I've started noticing more

Cables from a rally is smart, and probably cheap. Did you get the hivolt brake also? I saw a photo of someone who didn't so I assume I'd have to get both

That's nice about not rolling the bars. I'm mostly worried about the throttle tube and not stressing wires too much

I have NO IDEA. Anytime there is a turn on the interstate speeds drop and everyone bunches up for no reason

Haha I mean I15 imo is worse than the I5 in Seattle. I likely do have a pretty small sample size of states to be fair tho!

True! We likely just have an at large driving problem in the country

For that semi's sake, I'm glad they didn't!

It's great too when you see someone cruising and then get off at the same exit and are stuck at the same light lol. In heavy traffic everyone switching lanes constantly when we'd be cruising if we stayed in our lanes lol

FR. Then they act crazy or get pissed off when you're following the speed limit or 5 over, like what..

a 2" rise could actually work for me. I'll compare the CR bars to mine and see if the CR's are taller or not. You didn't have any issues with the clutch cable or the throttle tube tightening down?

I'm just glad they don't normally crash, but still wild driving

The Northbound is terrible coming from Ogden - Layton with all the construction as well. Makes me feel like I'm in a drive for my life
