[@LifeOfBurch]

Update on the saddlebags- I realized there’s an additional d-ring on the bottom of each bag that we overlooked. If you run the strap through that before putting it around the foot peg mount, it’s much easier for the bags to stay poofed out at full capacity while still being secured tightly!

They are cheap versions of Nelsen Rigg bags, both saddlebags and tank bag. The NR bags have instructions sewn inside. The NR saddlebags have expanders. They're also cheaper if you look around!

The XR150 has been available in third world countries for years. People rely on motorcycles for their primary transportation. A lot of the roads here in the Philippines are bad so motorcycles take a punishing in the hot tropical climate. If these bikes were junk, the word would be out. Yes, there are things you have to improve to enhance durability. Some rust protection under the swingarm is advised. They actually sell a stainless swingarm here. A can of black spray paint and a scotch bright pad will keep the frame in good shape. Upgrade the handlebars, install tapered roller steering neck bearings when the clunk comes, convert to DC and install LEDs (I did) It has a stout frame. The engine is tough too. Honda just switched from the pushrod 155cc engine in the TMX tricycle model to the 150cc OHC engine in the TMX Supremo. That's about the most severe duty you can subject a bike to. Hauling a heavy sidecar loaded with people in stop & go traffic in the tropical heat. Did Honda cut some corners to get the price down? Sure, even HD does that. Can you inexpensively upgrade the bike? Absolutely! A CT 125 has all of the upgrades, but it's $4k. For me, the XR150L is the best bike for the money. I doubt I have $200 in all of my long list of upgrades. I just watched a video where someone swapped to 18"/20" wheels and a 15T front sprocket for about $150 labor included. I look at this bike as a blank canvas for endless customization at a bargain basement price. It's like a Asian HD for tricking out options..

Why does it need to be metal to be a legit skid plate?

[@dinospumoni8860]

@@Rezenator10 because technically to be a skid plate you need to be able to use it to skid over stuff. Like a downed tree on a trail. I doubt being plastic it would hold up that well to off road use and abuse.

Tourqe head screws (star) are better to not strip the heads. BMW uses them all over the s1000rr. And they do hold up better to higher torque. This bike is a world market bike and stays cheap for the sale in other countries .

[@LifeOfBurch]

Ahh interesting. The more you know! 🙌🏻

[@Sylvan_dB]

Fastening the handguard is the first place I think of to use high-torque screws... 😁 (I do like torx screws, but my choice would be the same driver as used elsewhere on the bike.)

After seeing all the OEM accessories, you have helped me make up my mind that I'll put all aftermarket high quality stuff on it when/if I get one. Still trying to decide. Just got a CB500X so I don't really need another new one right now, but maybe this fall?

[@AndrewFearn42]

This Honda bag looks just like the Nelson Rigg tank bag I run on my CB500X. I'd expect any bags you get for your CB500X would fit the XR150L just as easily.

[@aaronhansen8037]

The bike is still new. I only have 200 miles. I have a new KLX300 as well. I haven’t rode the KLX since I bought this bike. I absolutely love riding the 150. It shifts good, ok power, and handles excellent. Now this is on the street. I haven’t taken it off road, and expect differently. The true test will be how the bike is long term, as it gets several thousand miles, and some age. If it holds up, I’d say it is the best bang for your buck you can get. I’m hoping for the best. If it meets my expectations, I’ll be getting another as this one ages.

[@Tychohuybers]

Phillips heads are designed to strip so that you don't over tighten them. You probably don't want hand guard screws to strip, so using hex, or in this case torx screws, makes way more sense. With mechanical stuff you're mostly dealing with bolts, but when there's a screw, it's always nice to see hex or torx.

[@easyfromtnbtw3555]

JIS screwdrivers help a lot if you have to mess with phillips

[@matthewpeterson3329]

The more I look into this bike, the more I see cheap parts that will likely not hold up well over time. I know this was done to keep the bike inexpensive, but it is worth considering. I still like this unit and for the price, it could be a lot of fun. My plan is to pick one up and ride with my son's on their TW200s, all of us trading back and forth, and we can see just how much abuse it can handle. For the price of the tank and saddle bags, I might be inclined to buy the Tusk bags that are similarly priced, or spend a bit more and go with what I KNOW is the best option... the Giant Loop products. The skid plate looks like it will deflect rocks nicely, but I agree that it is not going to give the same protection that an aluminum skidder by Ricochet or Procycle would give in a proper fall. Thanks for the reviews... these are very well done and give great info for a new to OUR market bike.

[@aaronhansen8037]

I also have the TW. As far as riding on the street, the 150 is superior. It handles tons better, and the gearing is wider. The 150 shifts tons smoother. But over all the TW is superior in build and quality. But I love both.

[@rustytanks]

I have a 2011 XR125 model, the 150 has about 2 horsepower more which is almost unnoticeable, mine has 85000kms on it now, accept for normal maintenance it still runs perfectly, had to replace the clutch on 50k, cost me not even $50 to do, they are incredibly strong bikes

[@easyfromtnbtw3555]

So far everything from Tusk has been good in my experience they do their homework lol

I'd leave the Engine guard on there. I think it's not only about big things like rocks, but gravel and small stuff flying off the wheel. That will blaster the front of the engine. (I've had that happen to my bikes)

[@telcobilly]

I left my collection of Quadlocks in the US unfortunately. I bought them for my HD. Going to have to grab one for the XR when I go back. I took your advice and peeled off the tank stickers..looks much better.

[@macsleepe]

I think you will be thanking all the gods when those Honda-branded hand guards are blocking your hands from being pelted with raindrops the size of marbles. They look nice. If the decals are really bugging you, you could heat them up a little with a blow dryer (on low setting) and peel them off and reapply them. Good luck to ya’ .

[@aaronhansen8037]

I put the skid plate on too. My frame on the front where that bracket mounts wasn’t level. Like one tube was slightly more forward than the other. Got it mounted. What a pain. Just for those who don’t know, those handgaurds won’t work on after market cross bar type bars. There isn’t enough flat mounting surface. Ask me how I found out lol. Eventually I will put a set of 1 1/8 bars on with aftermarket handgaurds. Those Honda guards are just for looks. One hit and those will be done. BTW, in the dirt bike world Cycra brand is top notch. I run Cycra full wrap arounds on my dirt bikes.

[@zLigHt44]

Thanks Aaron, everyone should check to see if the frame is even at that location,a sign of poor workmanship, maybe other areas are not up to the high standards Honda is known for.

[@aaronhansen8037]

@@zLigHt44 Yeah, I definitely was not happy. I had a 25% chance of pulling the bad one. The dealer had 4, none built. I got the first one. The bend isn’t horrible but enough the plate wasn’t level. It ended up mounting solid. It did blow a fuse at 60 miles, which inhibited it from starting. Replaced the fuse, all seems fine so far. Aside from that everything seems ok. 200 miles no other problems. I ride it to work every day it isn’t raining lol.

[@effervescentrelief]

I put the Quad Lock setup on my 2017 Rebel 500. I had to find out how my Pixel 7 Pro would clear the windscreen. Through trial and error I installed the Quad Mount Pro, with the vibration damp and the wireless charging head. I have the charging head plugged into the USB to SAE connector to the battery to charge my devices. I use the Vemote Motorcycle USB Phone Charger but it only fits 7/8 bars instead of the 1 inch. So, I had to use a bunch of zip ties as spacers to make up for the difference and keep it from sliding. I wired it using the SAE adapter option and used the reverse polarity adapter. That way I can hot swap my 1 amp battery tender with the Vemote charger.

On the quad lock you don’t have to use the extender arm you can mount the vibration dampener right to the part that clamps to the bars if you want to center in on the handlebars.

Hey Burch! Fyi: An OEM replacement seat for the xr150l can be ordered from a Honda dealer for around $125. My daughter loves our white xr150l, but at approx. 5'4" with a 30" inseam, the 33" xr150l seat height is a little tall. I just ordered an OEM replacement seat today and will take it to a local upholstery friend who will create a slimmed version that's at least two inches lower. She'll be able to flat foot, and the xr150l, purchased on June 2, her birthday, will be her first bike. I will have the original seat and the lowered one to sell with the bike or to raise the height back to 33. Thanks again for all your bike info! I agree with your appreciation of the xr150l.

The plastic skid plate you bashed are way better than any metal skid plate you will have ; and I’ll tell you why . When you have metal skid plate it makes engine noise reflect off it and become overbearing . Metal skid plates also rattle like nothing else when at higher RPM’s . The plastic ones are much much better than metal ones and provide much more protection than I can guarantee you will ever put the bike through . The skid plate would glide over trees with ease . And another main thing with that skid plate it to protect frame paint from rocks bouncing up while riding . While also being able to slide over obstacles and not hurt bike . Look up Graham Jarvis or Billy Bolt . They both use plastic skid plates and ride harder than we ever will and that’s a fact . With all this being said . I still subscribed and liked the other tips especially the phone Mount .

I know you saw this coming but, Torx is superior to allen keys in everyway and IS the future. You will see more and more of them as time goes on.

Curious, could you get the skid plate and the aftermarket bar guard from the other video on at the same time?

Would this thing work for a 6’4” rider?

[@scott01clay74]

Do they make a bag for the rear that goes on the rear rack?

[@khloelarsdatter2232]

would you say this is a good first bike for someone small?

[@LifeOfBurch]

I’d say it depends how small you are and how confident you may be from riding dirt bikes previously or something like that. Only reason I say that is because the seat height is still kinda tall compared to other beginner bikes, so you’d have to be comfortable with the idea of potentially tip-toeing the bike. My girlfriend is about 5’3” and she struggles to have both feet down. Other than that, is a super beginner friendly bike! I’d just recommend sitting on one first to make sure the seat height won’t be daunting.

@@LifeOfBurch Thanks!!

Don’t get the hand grips. The clutch side does not fit because of the fitment of the mirror assembly. I tried to move the mirror over and i can’t break the screw free. Looks so stupid 😢

[@SummitAndy]

Do you plan on keeping the bags or selling?

[@jasonsliger5430]

I'm thinking that $15.00 would be appropriate for the hand guards and about $40.00 for the tank bag!

[@TheAohearn]

Do you have a link to buy the pegs you used?
