I installed one on my bike awhile back and it is well built and the brace really stiffens the mount up substantially. One bad mishap on the right side could get expensive. Good job bringing products that are very functional to your channel. I got my bike after you got yours and I quickly learned who to follow for information.
Using one also, very well built and I feel better about riding in gravel and right side tip overs. I also installed their tail tidy, it is very well built also. Thanks for your review.
Yea trust me, I crashed my CR250 once and it smashed the radiator in, dumped all my antifreeze out immediately and I was stranded. I wish I would have had one then
Are you worried about heat with the reduced air flow? I heard that the 300s were running hotter than the 250s (I'm getting mine in the spring, going from 250 Rally to 300 Rally).
I don’t know that for sure on the 300L. I had the guard on my 250L with the IMS tank and I had to modify the rear support bracket on the guard to make it work but it wasn’t a problem
I don’t like that metal bracket; I’d rather make one out of PA6; also I’d say the radiator is obstructed - I’d choose sth like a frame on the outer perimeter without that obstructing grille
This guard is designed for street use only obviously. The way the front grill is made, it collects all dirt from front wheel and even makes it hard to clean. What you need is side directed fins like the original plastic cover has. These catch the dirt and let it fall down while directing the air in. Also this guard is needlessly heavy. Thick plates should be replaced by thinner profiled shapes for the same strength at the half weight.
Well you say that but I have had this same guard on 3 bikes, rode in lots of mud and have had 0 issues. It’s not heavy at all. I wouldn’t do with out one

Thanks for watching Greg, I glad I can help.

Your right, thanks for watchin Don
Yep, it’s been on my list.
Definitely a good thing to have. One broken radiator and you will wish you would have bought one. Ask me how I know lol
Just installed one on my 300l I cut the top off my plastic factory one and put it back in place to keep the radiator cap covered
Awesome I thought about doubt that, I’ll have to give it a try
Looks like it’s built like a tank, and looks good also
No doubt, I have had a couple in other bikes but both nothing this good, CRFsOnly has a good deal on them to
Thought about doing that. Interested to see how airflow is changed. As far as you feeling it.
I rode it to town today and so far I can't tell a difference. It’s definitely well made for sure. The best one I have seen
@@Woodzman may have to get one.

Awesome install video!
Thanks for watching

I haven't noticed a problem today and there are a lot of people who use them without any problems.
Looks good!
It’s a good investment
Any idea if this guard will impede install of the acerbis 3.5 gal tank? CRFOnly site says "may" not work with aftermarket tank.
I don’t know that for sure on the 300L.

@@Woodzmanthanks! I’ll like get one. I was wondering how much crash protection is really necessary. I have skid plate and wrap around zeta guards.
Basically it depends on the type of riding you do
@@Woodzmananywhere I can! Lol😂
If you ride in the woods, the radiator guard will keep a stick from going through the radiator, also is you fall over it can save your radiator
I'd put one on my 300L, if I had one
Haha it’s definitely worth getting one: CRFsOnly is the best place to pick one up. I put the link in the description
