You make the best build series on youtube my dude. You explain everything so well and i've learned so much watching these videos. Watched everything since you did the FZ-07 BSOS. Keep up the good work. Big fan
Anyone else still waiting for their CRF 300L??? Thanks for the videos Jake!!
Yes!!
There’s no feeling like hacking bits off of a brand new bike. I took a hack saw to my klx on day 1 😂🤣
I’m sure some people are nervous about these things, after a few times you won’t think twice about it 💯😂
Wait till the next video. The frame met the angel grinder. On patreon now.
Soooo hype you threw these on! I made a video installing these on my CRF250L with the U-Clamp and they look soooo good💪💪Wiring the new signals into the stock plugs was also mega easy - and this was my first time ever doing it. I'm sure the T-Rex work great, but I'm definitely biased to the Zeta's!!
Slick presentation, awesome video editing, great personality and just what I want to know. You're the man.
Jake, Thank you for this video. I did not like the way that my current handguards mounted to the handlebars, so bought the Zeta triple clamp mounts but could not figure out how to mount them! Your video made this very clear and I was able to attach the mounts to the upper triple clamp and reuse my old handguards. I enjoy your videos and learn something each time I watch one.
How could you not figure out how to mount them? It's literally in the name "triple clamp".😐
I love these videos. Thanks, Jake!
Thanks bro
That's some serious dedication right there for some turn signals lol. I been through it once before, never again lol. Now I just buy everything from tst industries and most of it is plug and play. But I really enjoy watching your how to's, you explain it perfectly. Thank u for that.
Link?
Yes! Finally a new crf vid!
I’m probably not the first one to notice this. You didn’t need the blinker genie. If the running light stays on as long as the blinker is off then you could have wired the new blinkers to both the running light wire and the blinker wire and have the correct result. The led will be on all the time and blink when you use your blinker
I have a set of these zeta guards on my 1991 Honda dominator and I love them!!!!! Couldn’t recommend them enough! Might have to add these mods to them now 😗😗
i so saw this coming when you started taking the signals apart. i have a 250L i went thru this exact same issue. my resolve was 50w load resistors for the hyperflash and a basic relay.. running out of space behind my headlight haha
well done
Impressive work, great video!! 💪
Super neat install Jake 🙂
thank you
Excellent tutorial. Your wizard level and bike companies could use folks like you on design teams... for real.
Always ballz deep in a project❤️
😂 yes
"Nothing wrong with the cheap bars, guards and sliders! So long as you don't crash..." ;)
Love the crf 300l series. Just got mine . Would it be possible to make a video on all the tools needed to work on the bike ? Just the tool sizes. Brand doesnt really matter .
Thanks , you make amazing content 🤘🏼
Second this ^
12 O'clock Labs has everything available to convert the turn signals to LED, basically making it plug and play.
I wish I was confident enough to tackle projects like this
Just send it.
Won’t ever get any unless you just do it brotha. Best way to learn is to fail.
It's not a race. Just figure it out on your own time. I'm sure you'll be proud of what you can accomplish.
It's just work. You got this.
Just small, take your time. Build skills and confidence step by step.
Do the 12 Labs tail light it's pretty sweet and I also bought the little relay piece that plugs in if you're running all for turn signals as LEDs simple easy plug-in play
Very cool video thanks...perhaps I missed it....are these stock steel handle bars?

Appreciated… 😂
so there are people saying that you don't need the blinker genie because at 14:40 you explain that honda has basically already done it for you, just in a weird way. but you can't actually wire it that way. in order to wire up a two wire blinker using those three wires from honda, you would basically have to short the +12V and the blinker wires together. theoretically, that would light the bulb constantly, then once the +12V goes away, the relay takes over.
but the problem with that is that when you cut the +12V and send power from the relay instead, you would also be sending power backward along that +12V line, and that is almost certainly going to blow a transistor somewhere. possibly on the main computer.
so you do have to use the blinker genie for a regular two wire blinker. the only way you could use honda's built in wiring for this is if you had two separate bulbs for running light and blinker. and there are some led units out there like that.
now, having said all that... it is possible honda did the wiring purposely so that you could successfully wire it that way. but you would need to know that for a fact before trying it, because it would be stupid to risk blowing a transistor on your bike's main computer, or anywhere else.
Could throw a diode in there maybe? Cheap solution.
Yeah, diodes would have fixed that issue and you would be just fine using both wires as the positive for the blinker 😊
I set myself up with those triple clamps, THANKS!. What torque did you have on the new bolt?
I need to put those on my Yamaha super tenere
"I think I'll slap some Zeta handguards with turn signals on my CRF300L."
Let the nightmare begin....
Seriously, it's a drag the way the front brake guide no longer works with the new triple tree mounted clamps and a drag the way the LED flasher doesn't fit in the original spot. Besides all the wiring hassles.
Good to know what you are getting yourself into!
Jake, I think you could just not use the blinker genie. You could run the running light positive wire and the blinker positive wire to the positive of the new blinker. When you activate the turn signal the bike cuts power from the running light and the blinker activates.
I was about to say the same thing, the blinker genie is probably for bikes without running lights.
Had the same thought.
Ya glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this!
There's still like 4-5v on the running circuit. It doesn't completely stop. Honda did that kinda silly.
@@TheGardenSnake That sounds weird, it could be that the voltage is just floating.
Basically nothing is connected to the circuit and the capacitance of that circuit has nowhere to reach ground(negative) and stays at some random voltage. Multimeters have really high input resistance, so as to not change the voltage measured, but if a load was connected the voltage might go to 0v, or 2-3v if the load is a diode.
But you made it work so no point in trying to fix it.
Hi Jake, thank you for the video. I hv a question: Did you use a torque wrench to adjust the screws on the head of the suspension?
Sadly the inserted led indicators Arena legal where i live, sucks. Still got the Pro armour zetas tho. They have plastic sliders on the end compared to the normal Zitat armour.
Is there a chance to install also mini fairing for crf 300l becase it use the same mounting place? Those two bolts will be holding handguards and fairing.
So those fold away mirrors will work with these Zeta guards?
Clicked on the link for the relay and it states it's not compatible with my 2023 300l?
Clicked for the hand guards, stayed for a weirdly mesmerizing ad talking about lard.
What ram mount is that for the left handle bar? Between the hand guard and bracket.
do you have a link to the mirrors?
How did you get hazard lights?
They make switchbacks? Why’s the light white in the thumbnail?
The turn signal actually remind me of Shrek's hears
haha
That intro tho
Bark busters here endeth the lesson ..
@thegardensnake
I just got my 300L and have been watching your vids in order. I noticed something with your wiring. I think you could have skipped the blinker genie and maintained the same functionality. Just wire both the blinker and drl to the positive. Since honda cuts the power to the drl when it blinks, it will be on until you hit the blinker then start blinking. Does this makes sense? Id like to run this same setup but would like to minimize hacking the oem wiring
I think I tried it and it didn’t work 100%. But honestly I can’t remember. That was a while ago. Try it!
I have those hand guards with the integrated turn signals and the triple mount mounting option. Man that is da'shit!
what clutch lever is that?
would it have been possible to connect the 'solid' (not solid when flasher circuit is running) positive wire and the flashing positive wire and then connect to the indicator? The running would be pushing 12V, then when you use the indicator the running stops and the indicator starts flashing at 12V. I'm curious cuz i really want to do this setup for the grom😂
I guess I didn't 100% explain this. It does still run power to the running light with the turn signal is on. But it's like 2-3v. It might work but I'm not sure.
Mt07 r7 bult?
hi jake ! where is the section or link for DRL white running light ? (patreon version)
I don’t think they make a white light for these.
Will that damage the attachment point on forks?????
The bolt should snap well before that
@@TheGardenSnake 🤔
Second
DM me of you want rear LED turn signal running light adapters. i dont think anyone makes them yet.
Third
Don’t the lights stay on constant already?
The stock ones do cuz they’re a three wire light.

Too bad the zeta kit only comes in black or white. You have to purchase the red handguards separately. I see you can buy the parts separately, but red is out of stock. lol
I did the blue zeta bar and guard (and a gold pro-taper handle bar to bring the forks into the cockpit). I thought it might be too much, but the blue is dark so it’s just perfect
First
Forth
Looking good but not good for hard enduro
not sure im liking those handguards your limited in bar adjustability and cant put on risers which if you stand a lot is a must.
Well one I did my whole bar set up before this so shouldn't need to change anything. Two, is a good amount of flexibility. All the holes are slotted so you can shift one way or another before tightening. Also you can always get the raw aluminum ones so you can tweak them to fit perfectly. Trust these give you more possibilities then normal clamp on mounts. Those you are always fighting the cables.

Since when did Keemstar get a crf?
Ray's beard is still better
Your the swamp version of Tony Montana
@@TheGardenSnake that's not even insulting 🤣
You kind of look like Sergio Perez
I can see it, but I don't have a little b- chin haha
@@TheGardenSnake But you with the recessed chin, no beard. You could be an murican cousin?
Fun video. But, you might have talked me OUT OF this project. Seems extremely fiddley. Odds of rage throwing tools - high.
You aren't the only who talks fast with no pause between topics but I find it annoying and either pause the video for 5-10 seconds or just skip the video entirely.
Do you know if the Zeta "drop down" handguard set (ZE72-0004) will mate with their triple clamp?
