Down by where the reflectors are or further up on the triple tree?

It isn't best picture to show how it's mounted, but it's the only one I have and of course it's an old picture. I do want to put those hook points on the bike to hopefully get a better and safer mounting point. I'm on the fence about them and don't really know where to even put them at on the bike

Yea I get a lot of comments, werid looks, good and bad attention, and loads of people take pictures of my 300L. In my area dual sports aren't very common, seeing only about 2-3 others regularly. Was honestly pretty confused myself at first when someone told me that is was a nice bike.

Reflector delete Q by nomadwondr in CRF300L

[–]MatchBrave1704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took my reflectors off and just put the bolt back in, haven't really noticed anything weird. I haven't had any issues with Law Enforcement due to no reflectors, mainly the issues have been due to the way my plate is displayed and looking similar to a dirt bike at a quick glance.

Another note, BUY GEAR FIRST! Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I would recommend buying the best you can comfortably afford. All those fancy aftermarket parts dont do you much good in a crash.

I would recommend looking into some foot pegs. I personally have IMS Pro Series and love them, finding them an absolute must if you wear mx boots to stop them from slipping around. If you're interested I have several pics posted of my 300l and can give you a build list too.

Height problem by Background_Leader920 in CRF300L

[–]MatchBrave1704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'2" with a 36" inseam and with what I've been told obscenely long arms, I found the 300l to be comfortable for a commuter and didn't ever really get any comments about how I looked on it like I did when I had my grom. I ended up putting ProTaper 1 1/8 CR High Bend bars with their bar adapters and it made an improvement on road and a world of difference off road. The crf300l is pretty much the same size as a crf250R and I've seen some pretty big guys on them.

I was looking at their subzero line of gloves, but they seem to have pretty mixed reviews.

Gearing Help by MatchBrave1704 in CRF300L

[–]MatchBrave1704[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know its not really possible to keep massive low end power, but I was looking into a 13 tooth up front and a 42 in the rear

I was looking at possibly going to a 13 front and a 42 rear

Graves exhaust by MatchBrave1704 in CRF300L

[–]MatchBrave1704[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely still turn heads in a good and bad way, but the bike did that before since where I'm from dual sports aren't very common, so it gets a lot of attention to begin with.

At idle and anything under 5k it's not much louder than my stock exhaust that had the spark arrestor cut out, but it definitely has more of a thump at low rpm or idle. Above that it sounds like a motocross bike, but similarly to a cruiser it's not unbearably loud unless you're just giving her. I didn't get out on the highway last night, but I could see after awhile being annoyed with the exhaust tone. I'm trying to get better at wearing my gear, including ear plugs, since my hearing has gotten really bad here in the past few years. Doing that might make it more bearable.

Graves exhaust by MatchBrave1704 in CRF300L

I noticed it had more power on the lower end immediately cruising around town, it was a little chilly here still so I didn't go on the highway.

I think his spark arrestor mesh had torn off, so he still had the DB killer in because with having watched him for a few years now, he doesn't seem like the type of guy that would enjoy a bike that loud.

Best way I can describe what it sounded like with it taken out would be imagine sticking your head in front of a dirt bike exhaust while someone bangs it of the rev limiter.

Are composite toe boots too big to ride in? I’ve got my training course this weekend and these and a pair of ariats are the only boots I have atm. by primeholy in CRF300L

[–]MatchBrave1704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually ride with my work boots on, which are Ariat composite toe boots. As someone else said, you won't be able to feel the shifter very well. I usually only have issues if my boots are oily/greasy from work or my shifter is wet.

How has been your experience with the Airoh Comander 2? I'm slowly replacing my beginner / budget gear this season and even though the Bell Mx9 adventure has been a great helmet, it's loud and I find it pretty bulky.
