I just spent too much time trying to install the same odi grips as well. Thank you for confirming my hunch they wouldn’t work.

[@billybob1773]

Thankfully watched your video before ordering ODI grips

[@numberwhite7082]

Never been so early, don't have time to watch this video but thank you for every tutorial and guide you have uploaded. Greetings from Iceland.

[@LabCoatPaul]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@johnharris7756]

Haha love your dry humor man! Got the same hand guards as your but I’m using the lights as safety is not as important as looking cool 😎

[@AlGunolovera]

Thanks for the video, I was about to buy the same grips for my 300L but now I know better thanks to it.

[@Mick-Ro]

Very detailed video! Thank you. I am shopping for new handlebars for my crf.

Steel screws on aluminum thread, Loctite is not needed, they already block by themselves, copper grease is needed, in my opinion. 🤔

[@kylehubert4405]

Awesome

[@dapv144]

Lol. A smart person would loosen the throttle linkage.....hindsight is educational. I did something similar on my 50, same issues. You can use some aluminum brazing rods to fill that hole and try again.

[@LabCoatPaul]

Those rods might be a good idea. I've never tried that!

Love all your vids even though I don't own a RAV4 or a CRF300L! Always entertaining and always impressed with your ingenuity. Watched this one a few days ago then was thinking back to the video of yours I saw where you installed Highway Dirt Bike guards on your KTM. So this of course got me to thinking: why did you not go for the HDB's this time?

[@LabCoatPaul]

I think the HDB hand guards are better, but they don't sell the integrated bar clamp for my Honda.

[@honkeyness9427]

I’m assuming 3/16” hole was too big for the dowel?

[@Bieber2011Fever]

This seems like a royal pain in the ass
