Here are some ideas for equipping your Honda CRF450L with racks and luggage for day trips and adventure riding...
Tank Bags:
If you have the stock gas tank on your bike, we really like the Giant Loop Diablo Pro Tank Bag. It fits the bike well, holds quite a bit of stuff, and mounts to the tank in a way that makes re-fueling easy, by simply unzipping either side of the bag from the harness, and flipping the bag to the side to allow access to the gas cap. Very trick. If you've installed the larger IMS 3 gallon gas tank on your bike, that tank bag just doesn't fit well, so you'll want to go with the smaller Giant Loop Buckin' Roll Tank Bag.

Cargo Racks and Tail Bags:
Our favorite combo for a rear cargo rack and tail bag is the Flatland Racing Cargo Rack, which bolts right up to the bikes rear sub-frame and rear seat mount. We found that the Nelson Rigg Trails End Dual Sport Tail Bag fits the rack perfectly and straps securely to the sides of the rack. You can also use Nelson Rigg Trails End Fuel Bottle Holder, which attaches to the top of the tail bag, to carry a fuel bottle and some extra fuel.

Saddlebags:
If you're not running side racks on the bike, then check out the Giant Loop MoJavi Saddlebags. Specifically designed to carry just the essentials needed for a day trip or trail ride, these saddlebags are a rackless, slim, and trim. They strap on, stay on, and no side luggage racks are required.
