Honda CRF300Rally Crash Bars Drop Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2021
- Three stage drop test done by Outback Motortek. Again! This time we threw our beloved CRF300Rally Honda into the deep end of the pool: dirt/grass, gravel and concrete. Watch the full video to find out about the results.
For the sake of transparency we'd like to note (kind of a disclaimer) that the performance of the BarkBusters hand guards likely had an effect on the performance of our crash bars. We always recommend the upgrading of the original hand guards to a reputable brand as added shield.

Dam, I flinch every time I see a bike hit the ground , but I'm very impressed by the durability and quality of your products. Proof is in the pudding. I'm so glad I have the full set of crash guards on my 2016 Honda African Twin. Even after a year of owning my bike, Lorry sent me a new and improved skid plate and lower cross bar for free. Now thats great sevice !!
Thank for your comment, Dan! I'm glad that you're happy with our aftersales customer service ;)
Cheers, Lorry
I like your approach to testing your products, and that you're showing it to us. If my current crashbars ever fail me, I'll be your customer.
Thank you for considering our crash bars.
@@Outbackmotortek Hi Team, are you able to cofirm that those bars will also fit 250 rally ?
@@matysmj5165 can’t confirm it yet. We’re working on it though
Literally just finished installing these in my Rally today. Quality looks great. Customer service was excellent too. Tempted with the skid plate now.
We appreciate your feedback!
I must say when I saw the drop test on the grass I was like “yea yea whatever” but once I saw it on concrete I was like 😳 these dudes are nuts!!! SOLD!!! placing order now!
Thank you!
Seriously, this is fantastic advertising and the best possible way you could market something like this. I can't say that I've ever seen someone drop test their crash bars. You have my attention!
We’re the only company constantly doing drop tests. It helps us make better crash bars.
Hahah I was actually looking at your bars last night, and this video was randomly posted on a FB thread. After watching you put your money where your mouth is with these tests, I'll be ordering a set tomorrow!
🙌🏻
@@Outbackmotortek any idea when you're going to have a stock of these bars again? Looks like they're out of stock😭
@@mytruenorth5593 we’re constantly producing and restocking
Groovy tune!
Finally some good bars for a crfl
Cheers!
Looks Solid, top job. Waiting for availability :-)
Cheers. We’re going to begin to supply our dealer in a few weeks.
@@Outbackmotortek That's actually great news🥰 I am getting one, no questions🙃
Mine ordered and on the way
Can you please tell me which particular Barkbusters bars you used? I have the universal kit, and they don't fit like this. Your bars look longer than mine, so that they mount closer to the middle of the bars.
Ooohhh man!! Stop!!! My heart is tearing apart!!!! Excellent video! Could you please tell me which brand are the rear language bars??
The rear racks are also from Outback Motortek
Which variety of Barkbusters do you have fitted? Their website does not list the 300 Rally.
I believe we had the 250L/Rally version fitted with some mods, but I can’t confirm. Please ask Barkbusters what they’d recommend
In the video, your bike has the stock Rally bash plate removed. Is that a requirement? Or will the bars fit with the stock bash plate fitted?
Good question
Handguard busted loose at 1:43. Do you remember if the M6 you used (into the original bar weights) broke?
The bolts didn’t brake, just slipped out of the tubing.
Nice tests and the bars look solid!
Not sure about the front top mounting point though. This bracket is easy to bend outward and backward (ask me how I know) and I wonder if the bars would actually increase pulling (and bending) leverage in a grinding slide on uneven/rocky terrain. What do you think?
The crash bars have some flex. The cluster bracket didn't bend or break. That drop on the concrete is as nasty as it gets.
agree of flat asphalt is a thing on a rocky trail is another I am considering all options too but may stick with just a sturdy radiator guard for the same concern that you have if you bend the tower is on a tour is a real pain... other then that great product I would just not has used that front mounting point but frame only
@@silvioperugini5890 it’s highly unlikely that the cluster bracket would break, there’s enough flex on the crash bars to absorb impact. The concrete drop is likely the most significant impact that could have been produced.
As always, purchase a product that you feel the most comfortable with. It’s your motorcycle after all. ✌️
Yes, you are right. I have same bike. the front top mounting point is too weak so it can be bend and also bend the head easily. After that you will have a very big problem. The healthy way to protect this bike is covering it around motor block only. Although they say it won't bendk, i know it will
no idea what this was for / replace to soundtrack with actual information
Still waiting for my crf300 l.....
What a timely video! Just picked up my Rally last week and was looking to get some bars for it before I inevitably drop it for the first time.
Although this was only a tangential topic of your great video, it looks like the Barkbusters were installed over the factory weights at the ends of the handlebars. Was this done using longer M6 screws, or were the factory bar inserts & weights drilled out for the larger M8 screws that come with the Barkbusters? They clearly held up well, and I'm wondering if the larger M8 hardware is truly necessary.
Thanks for your comment! We just used longer bolts, nothing else. At the time of doing the drop test, Barkbusters still didn’t offer handlebars specifically for the 300L/Rally. Perhaps they have something by now!
My friend had these crash bars on, the first drop on a rocky trail and they bent right in touching the plastics on the rad side, bent back out so i guess you could say they did their job?
Removed them now just running barkbusters and a rad brace as he also thinks they could potentially bend the tower bracket, just being honest!
Thanks for the feedback. Crash bars bend to absorb impact. That means your buddy’s bike’s radiator was saved from a potential impact.
Lol
2:33 and 2:56 show the thin bracket to which these attach up top. I can see where people would be worried about bending that, however if they're getting pushed inward toward the tower, they'd contact that before they could yield? Is there room in there to add a cross strut that would tie the two sides together horizontally, running above the fender / below the headlights?
You can see clearly that the top brackets are not bent. We show it from different angles. They’re straight even after being slammed against concrete ground twice.
These CRF300Rally crash bars are one of our most popular products. If you don’t believe our video results, feel free to browse relevant forums and ask for more proof.
Yes they bend. I have bent mine on the first drop. Do not buy these bars! Outback mototech don’t think it’s an issue though.
@@angelodonofrio2 must have been a heck of a drop if yours is bent. Besides, bending means absorbing impact. Crash bars do that if there’s enough force. You’re, however, entitled to your opinion ✌🏼
@@Outbackmotortek It was a low speed, low impact drop. I’m not a talented rider. Hence the purchase of crash bars. I understand bars bend, and have experienced it with other brands such as HEED, touratech and AS, but to bend and damage the fairings and tower bracket on the first drop? Never seen that before, and that’s why I can’t recommend this product.
@@angelodonofrio2 No worries. As per the video they handle drops on concrete and the CRF300Rally crash bars are one of our most popular products, so the performance must satisfy enough people to carry our reputation forward.
Do you have a bash plate crash bar setup for the lower part of the bike?
No, we don’t. Sorry
Looks nice. What about vibration? Does the crash guard add to it? Tuning fork effect?
Every crash bars vibrate to a certain extent. They pick up on the engine’s vibration through the chassis.
@@Outbackmotortek Yes but at different levels. The ones connected to the block vibrate more can also create handlebar wobbles. How does yours perform?
@@onthepegs our crash bars are fully frame mounted, not the engine block. There's vibration. It's inevitable. We're talking about a single cylinder engine.
@@Outbackmotortek Frame mounted is great!
Do you make them for the Honda 250L Rally?
We’re in the process of testing the 250Rally crash bars. ETA is November, 2022
Will these crash bars fit the 250 rally?
Yet to confirm
Did a plastic on the bottom right side get scratched (2:14)? Looking from the video when bike is on the ground, the bottom plastic part is just 2-3mm from the ground.
The bike got smashed against concrete ground twice. Wouldn’t you settle for some scratches after that? Without our crash bars and Barkbusters handguards half the side would have needed to be completely replaced. Not to mention the potential damage to the radiator.
@@Outbackmotortek You are absolutely right, your crash bars are the only one gone trough crash test (with success). I'm only asking because I'm in dilemma to remove those bottom plastic parts.
@@omadon99 the good thing about the plastic fairing is that it feels flexible enough, thus it shouldn’t shatter as long as the contact with the ground is minuscule
@@Outbackmotortek I had an off on a steep rocky climb last Saturday and ended up on a large slab - no damage! Then dropped it in the carpark which just scratched the bar-end weight - lucky as I'm still running the OEM lever guards!
@@Outbackmotortek umm I don't actually have any crash bars fitted - just extremely lucky!
Can't buy thoses crash bars anywhere, got any ideas ? ?

HEAD UP TO EVERYONE. MOTO X V2 full exhaust is not compatible with this crash bar. The braket blocks off where the header goes. Yes i even took the pipe off to make sure and we confirmed they dont work together. Ive spoken to a rep and they are now aware of it. Will be sending pictures to them.
Are they gonna be available in the EU?

Do you plan to create some for the CRF300LAM (not rally) ?
No, they are not compatible
@@Outbackmotortek I said "Do you plan to CREATE some for the CRF300LAM" not "Are they compatible with the CRF300LAM" ;-)
So what is the response corresponding to my precise question ?
@@pascalmartinezdamiens4828 we’re considering.
@@Outbackmotortek ok thanks
Where to get them in the uk
Here's the link, Peter: outbackmotortek.co.uk/product-category/honda/honda-crf-300-rally/
Do these bars fit a 300L ??
No, they’re not compatible
Why none for a 250 rally?
Haven’t had the chance to work on one yet
Where i cann buye?

When are your skid plates gonna be back in stock my man?
What’s your country of residence? We will check when the next shipment may be sent to your nearest dealer
@@Outbackmotortek Scotland/UK. My family actually has a dealership near the border. - Paterson ATV.
مرض داری!!!!
When will they be in stock?
In the coming weeks
@@Outbackmotortek thanks got them on backorder!
Can I have a link to buy it 😅 ? thank you bro.
Sure thing: outbackmotortek.net/product-category/honda/honda-crf-300-rally/
@@Outbackmotortekunfortunately they are “sold out” for quite some time now, do you guys plan on making more anytime soon for US clients? Really appreciate it. I would buy one as soon as it becomes available.
@@sv_russu we do produce 300Rally crash bars non-stop, but it’s never enough. Our USA west dealer is receiving a large shipment in a couple days though and it has 300Rally crash bars.
Honda CRF 300 Rally for sale, immaculate condition, never crashed. £8000
They seem to work really nice;
MSRP: Arm, leg, foot.
Unfortunately that lower plastic is what gets damaged first and this gives no protection for that.
Did you watch the drop test video?
Lol. You guys at OM are really in deep denial 😂
Greetings
I'm sold, how much is it?

Actually crash test in average riding conditions on and off-road at speed most people ride at would be of more value. The tests shown in this video shows a guy taking about 5 to 10 steps and throwing the bike in soft grass field, gravel, and concrete. Crash the bike at 20-60 MPH on asphalt, gravel, and rocky terrains and look at the head light tower mounting area.
Feel free to lend us your bike for a 60mph crash test.
The country-specific ordering system you guys have is a pain. It's in stock elsewhere in Europe, but I can't buy it because of manufacturer no international shipping rule. And it'll probably be months until you guys seemingly randomly decide to send something to the lone dealer in my country. The dealer told me the manufacturer doesn't even tell them what they are sending them. Basically roulette.
Thanks for your comment. What’s your country of residence?
@@Outbackmotortek Netherlands. I'm looking for the CRF300 Rally skid plate and crash bars.
@@sayuas4293 there’s currently a shipment on its way to our Dutch dealer and it contains CRF300RALLY products. Give them a call, please.
@@Outbackmotortek Thank you for looking it up. Any chance of you guys producing a radiator guard as well?
@@sayuas4293 we don’t make radiator guards
OK you made a point. Now please stop hurting the bike. Thumbs up for the crash bar, thumbs down for hurting the bike.
The whole point is that the bike’s not hurt 😉
The bike isn't hurt. Thumbs down for dumb comment
