DESTROYING the Frame on my New Motorcycle - Fender Eliminator CRF300L

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Sooo much better! Can’t wait to see it as a sumo 🤩👌🏻

[@TheGardenSnake]

There was also 3 other failed attempts to make this. Notice the cut up under tail that pops back up from time to time. Or the random cardboard template on the bike throughout the video. I had so much footage from this video and like 75% of it was just me failing haha.

[@mattwilcox8134]

Well it came out looking pretty clean and that’s all that matters

[@soilsmanadv6673]

I love the trash can mud protection system..I think you should out source this with a patent.

[@Blitz6804]

At least Texas law allows you to do this... in NY, that license plate mount would be illegal, and I'm not entirely sure the turn signals would pass inspection either.

[@JDelta87]

Very nice tail conversion and slick turn signals. Looking forward to the next video.

[@HippoDrones]

Super neat conversion, it is crazy how Honda have designed that back end, it is not like it is something everyone changes on all bikes, so needs to come apart easily. :D

[@AdventureDaily]

Looks damn good brotha! I might be following suit. Love the use of the trash bin.

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Great editing, interesting video! Doing some damage for the greater good of a mod, I like it! 💪

[@slakk5093]

Damn good job! Good to know about those frame openings. Seal that up right away if I get a 300L

[@XXXCRSPL]

You should sell the templates for the trash can cut out..That's a sick idea!! Love the mod!! Keep it up brother!!

[@RonaiHenrik]

As a European I find it hilarious how you can just do anything with your bike/car and it still remains road legal :D Those turn signals, that license plate.... So absurd :D

[@TheGardenSnake]

well it's brighter than stock, sorry you live in a place with strict laws

[@RonaiHenrik]

@@TheGardenSnake yea, it's a two edged sword I guess.

[@KairyuRider]

I’m with you; get a new bike and the first thing when I get home is to risk wrecking my bikes resale and stating confidently “I know better than the manufactures”. Great videos Jake, all the best from Tokyo!

[@noobonpc275]

Such a clean and simple custom mod. What a great video!

[@alexp6409]

This episode brought to you by Rubbermaid. Also, the finished product looks super clean. I wish I could make something that cool out of a trash can!

[@TheGardenSnake]

Honestly it’s not hard. Second time I’ve done this and both looked good. The one on the fz has been put to work hard. It’s done perfectly fine.

[@jimperry4420]

No mile long wheelie to drain the WD-40 out?

[@huxleyhornm7405]

Very cool. Good for you. No one will ever do that, unless they don’t have a job, kids, a women, a life. I’m buying the yoshi. So, thanks for the link. But fun to watch you go thru the free lance, good result.

[@brycearseneault9578]

i use to have a 250l and one of the best tail fender delete kits i found where by tst industry's. it has integrated turns built right into the tail light and keeps your plate up close to it as well

[@ridered55x84]

Damn that’s crazy how honda put that together. I jus converted my 450 RL to the X rear fender and it was way more simple.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Nice. Bet that looks good

[@ConnorGMedia]

Looks sooooo good man. I made a video installing the TST Echo mini LEDs on my CRF and they look good, but now I'm really 'mirin your setup😍😍

[@TheGardenSnake]

This set up really makes it like a proper dirt bike

[@ivyivyivy316]

Jake is the only guy to Sawzall a trash can to mod his bike

[@TheGardenSnake]

This is probably true

[@AlGunolovera]

Looks great, too bad here in Europe that would never pass inspections...

[@user-xb4nn6ql5l]

Really loving this series! Made me laff out loud though when you worried about an illegal screw in your number plate. I think the cops around where I live might notice it’s stuck it on sideways first… is that legal in Texas?

[@Firestorm637]

GREAT ENGINEERING! Love it!

[@backyardprojects8153]

Dude you really. Been given me all kinds ideas of ideas.. Especially when the fz07 build was finished omg

[@TheGardenSnake]

Good ideas or bad ideas? Bit of both¿ 😊

[@backyardprojects8153]

@@TheGardenSnake good idea's.. An your build was just a dream but now you made it a reality it's fkN awesome I love it!!

[@martykasa7864]

Ha ha .... I heard that before. If only there was a special way to glue metal back together...

[@Fordahord1]

I'm watching videos on tail tidys for my xt660x, and this is in my notifications

[@TheGardenSnake]

Haha well the method could apply

[@vondrz1391]

End result looks awesome man 👍

[@truss6282]

That looks great.

[@SPROCK3TMONST3R]

Waaaay better looking! Awesome project!👍

[@TheGardenSnake]

🙏

[@6Twisted]

Any chance of a ghetto heated grips video? I hate all the aftermarket options with their bulky wiring, ugly control boxes and mediocre grips. I bought one of those cheap heating element kits but couldn't fit them under the grips with electrical tape.

[@TheGardenSnake]

I might look into that

[@petertaylor2148]

I'm so tired, so lazy 😴 You're awesome though !! 🤣🤣

[@navykeef]

i bloody love my 300L. I have had a Duc Scrambler, Monster 1200R and a Hypermotard, but none of them made me smile as much as the Honda. Weird.

[@ronald8673]

Honda engineering has gone down hill. The bean counters have taken over. It is now, "How can we build this cheaper ?" They used to build good motorcycles in Japan. Now they're built in Thailand, known for wooden ox carts and rickshaws. You do have decent fabricators skills.

[@boomanchu78]

Jake the Zip-tie Snake.

[@jbird6395]

Hey man! What’s the trick to getting that abs fuse box off the rear inner fender, the one with the 3 30amp fuses? I got the whole thing unbolted, just hanging from that fuse box 😂😂

[@videosbruno]

On the 250L it was very easy to remove all that stuff... They had to make it complicated...

[@TheGardenSnake]

Yeah not sure why the did that but it’s fixed now

[@turbo280z]

How do I find out about these Sunday rides? I live south of Dallas.

[@Tracy494]

Commenting to appease the algorithm that is hosing my boy Jake!

[@TheGardenSnake]

thanks

[@rayneleaf]

Damn glad my klx 300sm isn't designed like that

[@TheGardenSnake]

That seems like it was made more like a normal dirt bike.

[@BSBBandFitness]

I stripped the right side front seat bolt. Any idea how I can tap the frame threads?

[@templeofpower9942]

great handicraft work, in Spain it would be unthinkable due to the stupid laws that exist, it would be nice if you put subtitles in Spanish, those of us who don't understand English have a hard time following you,

[@tarouyamada2686]

But Jake, what about those 2 other round holes in the back end of the frame? Seemingly serving no purpose even when stock, what the heck Honda :/ Also, I thought Honda had pretty much standardized the new Mitsuba looking led blinkers across their lineup, seeing those chonky boys in 2021 feels weird. Are they saving that much money on it? Same with Yamaha and its conventional forks on the MT-07.

[@TheGardenSnake]

It probably saves them like $2 to put those huge turn signals on

[@tarouyamada2686]

@@TheGardenSnake Dang, that adds up. Very nice work man, looking forward to a long term review of it, my standard CB only used in the city is dusty as hell under the seat, PITA to clean.

[@vaultsjan]

Anyone here that struggles getting the Fusebox B (the one in the toolbox) disconnected?

[@ExplorewithZac]

So this is better than the original setup?

[@TheGardenSnake]

I think so but it’s not for everyone

[@thumpstarRiderPro]

Really had to trust the process on this one lol

[@TheGardenSnake]

haha

[@shmack-dab-in-da-middle3960]

12 o'clock labs already ordered...... that's a lot of work for a Fender Eliminator I would have just take off the old Fender and bolts on a mud flap put license plate on it....lol

[@TheGardenSnake]

thats nice bro

[@shmack-dab-in-da-middle3960]

yeah bro we had one of our drivers breakdown today I went and finish their route rolled back into the parking lot and the Honda dealer called me and told me my bike rolled in today brand-new 300L for who for me.....!!!! Going to pick it up this weekend hopefully

[@elp013]

300L Chopper nice

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

JAKE YOU RUINED ANOTHER CLASSIC HOW DARE YOU

[@gagesims2788]

Slowly ordering all of these parts. And copying your bike. One day we’ll be at the same ride and you’re gonna be SO CONFUSED

[@BanKsyPhiL]

Could you possibly tell me where you picked up that knife you're using?

[@TheGardenSnake]

Don’t think you can buy those. They’re from the navy. Someone gave them to me.

[@BanKsyPhiL]

@@TheGardenSnake Well dang. I really appreciate the reply.

[@mtsand]

Or you can just get a TST Industries integrated tail light without ripping your bike in half.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Half apart 😂 that’s nothing. You should see where this bike is now.

[@trymstrenhauge1512]

Hmmm strange the old 250l is compleatly diferant 🤔 on that you can just put a small cover over the hole

[@FC-pf2xv]

Nice but too complicated and the frame is damaged. I adapted a DR-Z tail without any cut and keeping the original plastic, I think it's much better.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Damaged? How?

[@FC-pf2xv]

@@TheGardenSnake You have cutted the original frame. Nothing of dangerous obviously but I think it's a bad idea cut the frame. Just my opinion. Anyway if you want to save a lot of weight I suggest to replace the exhaust.

[@TheGardenSnake]

@@FC-pf2xv I wouldn’t call cutting off a few tabs no one will miss damaging the frame. If so then every motorcycle I’ve owed had a damaged frame haha.

[@DRDEATH8418]

🔥🔥🔥

[@hooptydx]

Lets see how long that plate lasts haha. I started putting a thin plate of metal behind mine and bolt all four corners after loosing a few.
