Honda CRF300Rally Crash Bars Installation Instructions 

Cheers. We appreciate your kind words!

Thanks for your comment. We don’t supply printed manuals. Only videos simply because they can be very detailed

Thanks for your reply. The service manual refers to the OEM torque specs. We supply our own bolts.

@@Outbackmotortek If Honda specifies 55 nm torque for those bolts, don't you think that it could be important for the long term health of the engine? I'm a little nervous about it either way, either I torque it to 55 nm which is what the engine seems to have been engineered for, but the bolts might fail, or I torque it to 45 nm and it might cause problems with the engine in the long term. Maybe OM should supply bolts that can safely be torqued at 55 nm?

Thanks for this info Saunas! I was just mounting mine and was missing the info on the torques! It's the main bolt that holds the engine in place and wrong mounting could affect the quarantine of the engine.

@@KKimKKolwiek you are welcome

Thanks for the feedback!

Did you figure out if that is possible?

@@New_Age_Revolution ive seen other you tubers do it , but it seems they jury rig something in the bottle bracket, I just can’t get a clear look.

There’s a fairly heavy duty bracket which secures the instrument cluster. That’s the upper mounting point of our crash bars.

@@Outbackmotortek but why you didn't make a splice bar / bracket , taking advantage of that point anyway.... with a little bracket renforce, upper zone.

@@lukestringer2177 I'm not sure if I know what you're referring to. The crash bars have been drop tested. I believe that we've done a good job: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EZkdxrWKWvw.html

@@Outbackmotortek it's just my excess of fear about cockpit instrumentation FRAME / I know that you are the TOP ... sorry for my insistence / good Job guys and thanks for your effort ★★★★★

Thanks for the feedback and and compliments! I have to check why there are two extra washers. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Although extras are always better than being short 🙂

I almost had the same issue today and thanks to this comment I checked thoroughly and fixed it. If you had the same "issue" as I did, then the spacers go between the left plate and the frame. From right to left you have bolt head, OEM washer, right plate, long spacer (kit), frame, OEM spacer, engine, OEM spacer, frame, small spacer (kit) plate, OEM washer, nylock nut. I almost missed one as well. I don't know if this is critical but you might want to check?

check timestamp 4:20

Where was that in the video?

Depends on how big your impact is. 😅

@@someguy5035 According to the service manual it is 55 N m, 41 ft lbs

So 55 nm ended up being good for you guys?

@@sayuas4293thanks for the question - so important. I’ll be torquing mine to 55Nm and use a torque paint pen on the nuts to watch that everything stays in place.

Thanks for your comment. We don’t supply printed installation instructions. It’s video only because it allows us to explain every detail and also provide tips and tricks.

It concerns me a little as well having the bars attached to the front fairing stay bracket. It’s attached to the front of the bike by a pretty thin bracket🤔. I understand it’s there to protect those big a&$ fairings and tank, but I’m glad I have just the 300l version 🤦🏻‍♂️

The bottom plastic part will get scratched and the upper headlight mounting point will bend as well.

45Nm

Are you referring to the USA site? If so, it’s currently not taking orders until the 11th of March due to warehouse updating.

Thanks for letting us know. We apologize for the error. You should be able to carefully remove the plaques and stick them back on. Much appreciated

Nous avons terminé les tests de chute la semaine dernière. La fabrication démarre. La première disponibilité est juillet 2023

@@Outbackmotortek ok merci

Not much to protect at the lower end. It’s just plastic, which is pretty flexible. The top end however has the radiator and the turn signals. Covering the lower is practically impossible, unless one wouldn’t mind having a scaffolding “masterpiece”. Not to mention it’d weigh so much more.

@@Outbackmotortek yes, the plastic is flexible...it can also crack and vibrate, and crack the mounting points during a fall, etc. etc. A lower bar assembly hits the ground first keeping the radiator off the dirt anyway. Just like any other adventure bike...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dkPp6qC2mcw.html Masterpiece delivered.

Thanks for your inquiry. We will be sending a shipment to Adventure Moto (Sydney and Brisbane stores) in a few weeks.

@@Outbackmotortek Hi, what about Italy? Thanks, M

@@blackmoonkey anticipated by late November or early December

We’re currently developing crash bars for the “L” model

There’s very little space between the fender and the frame. Without our additional cross brace the crash bars would not perform. Make the best effort to adjust the crash bars and the front fender to gain some clearance, please.

I have the same issue. Did you solve it? I saw on FB someone cut fender about 2 cm.

I am not sure but I guess these aren't compatible since the frame on the 250 and 300 is different, I found that out when trying on Acerbis Frame guards for a 250 on my 300 rally. But I am also pretty sure these guys have made crash bars for the 250 rally as well

We have USA east and west west dealers, but we can’t confirm the compatibility with the 250Rally

5.6kg. We supply a set of heavy duty brackets, which add the primary weight, luckily it’s further down low.

I doubt it. Our crash bars likely occupy the same mounting points as other manufacturers’ lower crash bars

Not yet. Working on it though

No, it will not

@@Outbackmotortek any plans to have one for 300L?

@@CezarLucan most likely yes

@@Outbackmotortek Any update when these will be available for the 300l?

@@TerribleWeekend haven’t had the chance to look into the potential of 300L crash bars yet

What’s your country of residence?

@@Outbackmotortek USA (Louisiana)

@@airadaimagery692 currently out of stock due to the high demand, but we’ll airfreight another shipment in about three weeks: outbackmotortek.us/product/honda-crf-300rally-crash-bars/

@@Outbackmotortek Thanks!

It does work. Check our drop test video:

@@Outbackmotortek I've seen the test but that was on level ground not the bike in a rut and impacting directly at that point at the front trust me it will bend and deformed. I'm not banging your product I'm just saying that's a weak point , I'm trying to encourage you to improve on the design . I like that it covers higher on the fairing then some others but just from my experience that exact connection point is weak . Thanks for your products, and Thanks to anyone out there thinking outside the box and creating new products I love it.

@@adamday6573 thanks for your feedback. It’s even ground, however smashing a CRF300Rally against concrete surface twice in a row is tough to argue about. We always improve the designs of our products.

@@Outbackmotortek I agree with Adam Day. I am currently putting my bike back together after dropping it in a rut and bending the attach point by the headlight. I still like the crash bars. I'm reinstalling the crash bars because I still think they're beneficial. The crash bars deformed my headlight bracket in a drop.

@@jeffburmester1909 must have been due to significant impact or most of the impact affected the top end of the crash bars. After smashing our bike against concrete twice the cluster bracket is still intact. However, it’s still a possibility as there are dozens or hundreds of different crash scenarios.

Someone will call you back

Thanks for voicing your opinion. The CRF300Rally crash bars are literally in our top 3 best selling products for three years now. Thousands of customers swear by it. As per your comment regarding aftermarket exhaust compatibility, we don’t guarantee fitment with aftermarket parts, only the OEM components.

@@Outbackmotortek with the exhaust yes. But i try and the holes i van not get in alignment. The left side with some stress the right side no. And i believe you that you have a lot of happy costumers. But i if have buyers remors.

@@MamolaRandy if you’re having fitment issues we can help you with that. Please forward photos of the issue to our customer service info at outbackmotortek dot com Thank you
