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).
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.
Looks awesome and high quality. Surprised they don't recommend using a spray bottle of slightly soapy water so you can slide the graphics around a bit then let them dry in place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 👍…….
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Cut the white parts off on the swingarm decals 🤘🏼 should look real good

That is one sweet kit! The folks over there at Bold sure did hook you up!!!
Looks fantastic

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.
That turned out awesome Jake!
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!!
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 🏍💨
Should call it the small red pig because of the XR now. Looks really good.
Jake, i hecking LOVE your videos. Pls don't stop tyvm
You're legend, that's real eye candy my man
That's just sick brother 👊 awesome job
Bike looks sick! Awesome job!
i like the black swing arm with the black engine. keep the stickers on the plastic and paint on the metal.
Great video, jake. Keep it up
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.
Looks awesome and high quality. Surprised they don't recommend using a spray bottle of slightly soapy water so you can slide the graphics around a bit then let them dry in place.

@@TheGardenSnake oh that's cool. I couldnt tell how thick they were. That definitely helps out then.
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!
Looks absolutely amazing
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
Love it! Even more with the swingarm stickers!
Awesome looking bike. You must be very proud.
The blue on the graphics really make your wheels pop
Well done, sir. The bike looks great.
I like the black swing arm. Great looking bike.
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.
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.
That looks awesome. Very impressive
Graphics look great :) i would keep the swingarm black
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.
that thing looks dope!
Nice XR. Looks sweet Jake. I would skip the swingarm decal.
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.
AWWWWWSOME BRO NICE LOOK
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
Trim the white off the swing arm sticker and put them on. 👍
Finally!!! For me who is not on patreon.
SKDA has had the template for the U.S. for a while now. They do a great job…
BAM, I’m now a Patreon
NGL, this looks killer in sumo mode.
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.
Trim the white off the swing arm stickers and just use the front part
damn you made it look easy. I did my 250l rally and I struggled
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

Looking good Jake 😁 just remind me what size chain sprockets you running now ? 😁😁🤘🤘🤘
Stock sizes
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 😂
by far the best bike graphics ive seen in a long time
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.
Get frame guards to protect it
Good way to wake up
No riding footage?
On Patreon there is
Bold new graphics
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

I have the same CRF300L🤘🏼😊
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.
cut the white end off and use the swing arm graphic
Turned out way better than I thought.
But I must say the old design did fancy my balls more.
How is the thickness compared to what the Volta was?
Beautiful. *boom
What size is your rear wheel and does it rub on the exhaust?
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
Shit hot!
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.
leave the swingarm black. The whole bike looking amazing though.
Sticker on swing arm
Don't put the sticker on the swing arm jake.. looks better that way
Anyone else think the XR301 kinda looks like XR-BOI. cant unsee...
yeah the spaces between the 3 should have been white as well
BackpackWheelieBoyz
Lets keep it black :D
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...
