Excellent video! Thank you for the install tips.

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scottlhester]

I've been thinking about this mod for my bike. Your video is by far the best install video I have seen for this tank. Keep up the good work!

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Wow, thanks!

[@Kemical0Aly]

Fantastic tutorial, really clear and easy to follow. Thank you

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

You're very welcome!

[@oldguzziguy]

Great instruction! I dont even have a 300 crf (yet) but found your instruction clear and precise. Thank you!

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thank you for watching!

[@J8zzy]

Thank you for the fuel line advice. Finally the right way to do it... Push IN the little yellow thing inside the black connector a bit - NOT OUT.🤔

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thank you for watching!

[@blackmoonkey]

I’d like to change my tank this week, can you please put in your comment the correct parts in the video? I guess at 3:26 Thanks

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

@@blackmoonkey I didn't use any parts other than what came with the tank. I did use a pair or slip joint pliers near that time mark.

Great video ! 👍

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thank you! 👍

if u add the camel back 1.2 gl that would bring it up to 5gl.

[@stephencarozza160]

That is a great video. Thank you for producing it and sharing it. I had one question. I read on Honda’s website that the Honda CRF 300 rally comes with 3.4 gallons. I am assuming the tank you installed is 3.6+ the .6 reserve. Is that correct? Making it 4.2?

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

No its a total of 3.6 gallons. Being fuel injected it does really have a "resrve" like a bike with a petcock has. You have a fuel gauge.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Last week I just installed the black version on mine. EZ

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

I thought about getting the black version since it was the same color as the factory tank. In the end I decided to switch the color and get the natural one.

[@silvioperugini5890]

nice video! do you think the metal bit that connect the hose to the charchoal hose is a actually a one way valve? otherwise what's the point of the arrow? cheers

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Im not sure. It doesnt say in the directions.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

The gas gauge stays on full for awhile until it gets to stock capacity and then it works like origami.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Origami lmfao. Original

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Correct.

[@theccwdad]

I was wondering that exact thing. Appreciate that. I can absolutely live with that. If I had a crf300l. Working on selling my race car so maybe this summer. My wife said yes to the xr150l basically. I had just stopped riding on the street after an accident that totalled my gsxr when we got together. She has always been against bikes but if I can't keep my race car I want to have something fun for myself and when he gets older hopefully my son will want a crf50 to match dads bike ❤

[@pushrod9390]

How'd you get the orginal washers off the bottom mounting bolts to reuse? These things are on crazy tight.

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Yeah they were a pain.

[@alphillips47]

Have you found any problems with pressure building up in a tank when you put the check valve with the arrow facing the fuel tank?

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

I havent had any issues with the tank.

[@randymcgiveron3268]

Does the bike feel significantly more Top heavy now? I was also wondering with a larger tank would it make the bike much harder to lift up to?

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

It doesnt feel heavier or more top heavy. There is only like a 10lbs diffence in fuel if its totally full

[@damacknificent151]

Does it feel overly top heavy now? Also how far down does purple hose need to go into fuel tank?

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

It does not feel top heavy and the hose just connects to the cap. It does not go into the tank.

[@damacknificent151]

@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 would've been nice if it was made to where honda can still use original key cap

[@Tony-kf8qy]

Hey, thanks for the video! Do you know the diameter of the cap by any chance? I'd like to purchase a locking cap with it but looks like Acerbis has 2 sizes (small/big) but their website is quite unhelpful they don't show the measurements of the tank :( Thanks!

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thanks for watching! Sorry I dont know about the cap.

[@DinoDarinoMischtdentorf]

@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 Doesn't the original cap with lock fit? I am afraid that's a deal breaker for me, if somebody is able to steal my fuel.

[@wayneweldner1254]

I like your Garmin 2x?

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

So far it's pretty good

[@sicks6six]

They missed the perfect opportunity to delete the charcoal filter, when these bikes fall over the charcoal filter gets flooded up and the bike will not start, it can be done with the tank in situ but when it's off its a much easier job to do, interesting protecting with bubble wrap and plinking a rusty lump hammer on the painted frame, killer idea that, NOT !

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thanks for watching!

[@phantomshtter]

Who is riding an uncomfortable dual sport 235 miles between stations though??? This just doesn't make any sense to me. On an adventure bike that's going cross country with a comfortable seat and long road spints state to state sure, that's why those bikes come with these kind of tanks. You'd have to be a glutton for punishment to ride this bike 200 miles. Spending how many hundreds of dollars on a new ugly tank to be top heavier, slower, get worse mileage.... to avoid a 3 minute fill up half as often???🤔 dumbest mod ever.🤷

[@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867]

Thanks for watching and for your opinion. I routinely ride hundred plus mile days on the bike on trail and forest service roads. The larger tank allows me to spend a weekend in the Ozarks without having to come out to town for fuel. As for Adv style rides or long highway rides I normally will ride until I have went about 150 miles then I will start to look for a place for fuel.

[@nikos-giorgos]

Did you just work on your new tank on the ground? Bad idea, as was the rusty af hammer on the bare subframe. Other than that, great video.

[@trondasdam6443]

This is a great mod for those of us who drive in more remote areas. I Drive in Lesotho and South Africa Where gas can be hard to find. The tank offers peace of mind and greater flexibility for my rides.

[@brucem1302]

Great video, thank you! What’s the max distance you’ve ridden with the new tank between fill ups? Looking at riding the TAT, COBDR and Continental Divide Trail but know I need extended fuel capacity to make 250-300 miles for some of the sections of those runs.
