Nice one Jake, your XR301 is an absolute beaut! Black swingarm looks nice & I'd imagine that half white sticker on the swingarm would get dirty real fast. The Silver muff matcehs better than I thought, compliments the midpipe.
Nice to decorate the bike. I used my wife's cricut and custom designed my own emblems for the sides of my 2005 Vulcan classic 1500 gas tank (made out of white vinyl which has amazing contrast on the black tank).
She looks goot The Great Debacle of 2023: to swingarm or not to swingarm The black looks slick, but the decal on the swingarm looks sick and is super unique compared to what (I) see on the street every day. Slap the H03 on the swingarm.
Just an idear for the swing arm stickers and to keep the best of both worlds. Just trim the white off the sticker and keep the red and blue at the angle cut. Don't get me wrong tho which ever option looks great Jake.
Great work Jake! Been wanting to get new graphics for my 300L really bad but had no clue where to go. Very timely help. Appreciate it! Yours looks great! 🏍️💨
Yeah at this point bold is the only one with both styles of headlights. Also the general template that’s out there is incorrect and we fixed it now. So really bold is the only one with the template.
The new graphics kit actually looks a little more crisp and sharp than the old one. That could be because of the metal flake but it looks really good. Also it helps using an old credit card or gift card to smooth out any wrinkles with the heat gun. Using your fingers can actually create small voids that can lift and cause bubbling later on in the future. Just thought I'd throw that out there. 👍 Also, the graphics on the headlight cowl reminds me of el nacho libre. Lol
Yeah I agree, it pops more. And I have one of those rubber squeegee things for things like graphics. But the graphics laid down so nice. They’re a lot thinker then what you’d see on something like a car wrap.
Id leave the swingarm, ima nutcase for clean colors. That said, i wish there were no stickers for the white plastic, couse man o man, when i saw that sideshot without the sticker, it looked sick. Still looks awesome tho.
Jake, great video as always. Hey I am going to get my graphics from Bold too, but I’ve got one question, I like the sponsors that you’ve got on yours, how do I specify what names I’d like printed on mine? If you could help me with this I’ll become a Patreon of yours 😂 Just kidding, I was going to anyway. I love your content. Keep up the great work 👍…….
i don't know how hot you're getting it, but maybe a microfiber cloth would help to press it down during the heat gun stage. i would say, leave off the lower strips on each side of the beak, and it would look a lot better.
I think either red or blue Pro-Link graphics would look better on the black swing arm and allow the finish of the arm to stand out. I also think a blue seat with the Honda logo on the side would be a great improvement too.
Cant wait for the dyno test! I don't get why you put all these commercials on a beautiful bike like that. I'd much prefer a custom paintjob, like camouflage pattern or all matte white or coyote tan or something cool like that.
Yo you think you would ever go out to a gixxer brah Sunday ride? always super chill ride out dude. Miss the og sbk rides like 2016-2018 I was dude on the yellow rmz sumo every once and a while Anyways hope you’ve been doing good
I almost wish the swingarm graphics were like half width. Because the swingarm looks sick, but it’s missing something. BUT I think the full sticker will be too overpowering. Idk just my 2 cents.
He has a parachute on. It was some kind of Stunt gone wrong, but nothing really happened because the guy still had his parachute and just parachute it down like normal.
jake, question lol. when riding with friends while vlogging, how do you get their audio in your video too? i wanna start motovlogging with friends but want be able to have their audio included too lol
With great difficulty! If they have their own video/audio set up then get a copy of their footage. Editing can take some patients until you get a good work flow. Another way is to use one of the Sena’s with a camera. They record the others on coms and yourself.
Okay, I'm going to address the elephant in the room here that no one is talking about that we all need to know..... Did your wife get her scissors back or is she going to lose it when she sees this video and goes: "Holy crap, that's where the hell they went! JJaaakkkeee!" :P
Nice one Jake, your XR301 is an absolute beaut! Black swingarm looks nice & I'd imagine that half white sticker on the swingarm would get dirty real fast. The Silver muff matcehs better than I thought, compliments the midpipe.
For the swingarm sticker, I might trim off the white piece to still show off the rest of the black swingarm.
The kit overall does give off an XR vibe.
Nice to decorate the bike. I used my wife's cricut and custom designed my own emblems for the sides of my 2005 Vulcan classic 1500 gas tank (made out of white vinyl which has amazing contrast on the black tank).
Should call it the small red pig because of the XR now. Looks really good.
I definitely think the swing arm stickers need to go on. I love the blacked out look but the stickers would absolutely tie the bike together
That is one sweet kit! The folks over there at Bold sure did hook you up!!!
Looks fantastic
She looks goot
The Great Debacle of 2023: to swingarm or not to swingarm
The black looks slick, but the decal on the swingarm looks sick and is super unique compared to what (I) see on the street every day. Slap the H03 on the swingarm.
Using a spray bottle of water and a squeegee, with a heat gun is the easiest way. The water lets you slide it into place. Bike is looking great!
Have been watching you for more than 10 years I remember you driving your super moto threw tunnels you’ve came far keep up the good work!!
i like the black swing arm with the black engine. keep the stickers on the plastic and paint on the metal.
The blue on the graphics really make your wheels pop
Bike looks sick! Awesome job!
That turned out awesome Jake!
Love it! Even more with the swingarm stickers!
You're legend, that's real eye candy my man
Jake, i hecking LOVE your videos. Pls don't stop tyvm
Just an idear for the swing arm stickers and to keep the best of both worlds. Just trim the white off the sticker and keep the red and blue at the angle cut. Don't get me wrong tho which ever option looks great Jake.
Oh that’s an idea
I like that idea.
That’s a way to get to where I was thinking too. It would look sick I think.
Well done, sir. The bike looks great.
Great work Jake! Been wanting to get new graphics for my 300L really bad but had no clue where to go. Very timely help. Appreciate it! Yours looks great! 🏍️💨

@@TheGardenSnake your work is great and very much appreciated by myself and many others. 🙏🏽
I plan on using them.
Cheers 🏍💨
Great video, jake. Keep it up
That's just sick brother 👊 awesome job
Graphics look great :) i would keep the swingarm black
Awesome looking bike. You must be very proud.
Looks absolutely amazing
That looks awesome. Very impressive
Swing arm sticker will look right. Blend it all together.
Kinda agree but 🤷♂️. I need more options
@@TheGardenSnake You could always put a Drz400 sticker there. It would definitely make it faster.
I like the black swing arm. Great looking bike.
That thing is absolutely gorgeous, Jake. Can't wait to see you do some performance testing. I'm really curious how much difference all the mods made

@@TheGardenSnake oh that's cool. I couldnt tell how thick they were. That definitely helps out then.
BAM, I’m now a Patreon
that thing looks dope!
I'd leave the swingarm stickers off, the touch of black really helps it all pop in my opinion but hey i'm just another guy on youtube
Cut the white parts off on the swingarm decals 🤘🏼 should look real good
24:25
AWWWWWSOME BRO NICE LOOK
SKDA has had the template for the U.S. for a while now. They do a great job…
Damnit jake, get a paintbrush for your grease application xD
You’ll hate me for this, I have some 😂
@@TheGardenSnake xD i cant handle this 😂
NGL, this looks killer in sumo mode.
Finally!!! For me who is not on patreon.
A little tip is to use soapy water when putting on graphics
I’m not sure that would work in this case since you really need to heat and flex them in several spots. It’s not hard but deforming them is needed.
Trim the white off the swing arm sticker and put them on. 👍
Turned out way better than I thought.
But I must say the old design did fancy my balls more.

damn you made it look easy. I did my 250l rally and I struggled
Good way to wake up
Nice XR. Looks sweet Jake. I would skip the swingarm decal.
That's 🔥
Bold new graphics
I have the same CRF300L🤘🏼😊
by far the best bike graphics ive seen in a long time
i don't know how hot you're getting it, but maybe a microfiber cloth would help to press it down during the heat gun stage.

Looking good Jake 😁 just remind me what size chain sprockets you running now ? 😁😁🤘🤘🤘
Stock sizes
Yo you think you would ever go out to a gixxer brah Sunday ride? always super chill ride out dude. Miss the og sbk rides like 2016-2018 I was dude on the yellow rmz sumo every once and a while Anyways hope you’ve been doing good
Trim the white off the swing arm stickers and just use the front part
Beautiful. *boom
Side profile looks good but the only thing I don't like is the graphics on the fender. Maybe keep the XR logo but take off the white stripes.
Well there’s no rules, if that’s what you want to do
leave the swingarm black. The whole bike looking amazing though.
What size is your rear wheel and does it rub on the exhaust?
I almost wish the swingarm graphics were like half width. Because the swingarm looks sick, but it’s missing something. BUT I think the full sticker will be too overpowering. Idk just my 2 cents.
Shit hot!
Get frame guards to protect it
What happened to the guy falling of mountain that's crazy 😂
He has a parachute on. It was some kind of Stunt gone wrong, but nothing really happened because the guy still had his parachute and just parachute it down like normal.
Anyone else think the XR301 kinda looks like XR-BOI. cant unsee...
yeah the spaces between the 3 should have been white as well
How is the thickness compared to what the Volta was?
jake, question lol. when riding with friends while vlogging, how do you get their audio in your video too? i wanna start motovlogging with friends but want be able to have their audio included too lol
With great difficulty! If they have their own video/audio set up then get a copy of their footage. Editing can take some patients until you get a good work flow. Another way is to use one of the Sena’s with a camera. They record the others on coms and yourself.
cut the white end off and use the swing arm graphic
Don't put the sticker on the swing arm jake.. looks better that way
Okay, I'm going to address the elephant in the room here that no one is talking about that we all need to know.....
Did your wife get her scissors back or is she going to lose it when she sees this video and goes: "Holy crap, that's where the hell they went! JJaaakkkeee!" :P
BackpackWheelieBoyz
Lets keep it black :D
Sticker on swing arm
No riding footage?
On Patreon there is
Nice!
But I like off road bikes.
Well, it also has off wheels and they regularly go on 🎉
I personally think you should've placed the blue line beneath the red one, it just looks like the russian flag now...
