Polisport Swingarm Protectors for the Honda CRF450RL / CRF450L

Polisport does not make their plastic swingarm protectors specifically for the 2019+ Honda CRF450L/RL Dual Sport models, however they do make a set for an older generation 2017-2018 CRF450R/RX that will fit the L/RL models with just a very minor modification (see below). They are available in black, grey or red plastic.

We recently installed these on our CRF450RL Supermoto Conversion. Installation on the CRF450L/RL is pretty easy... for the most part you just slide the protectors over the swingarm, and once positioned in place, you use the included heavy duty zip ties to secure them to the swingarm. They also include two strips of adhesive tape that go on the inside of each protector to stick them to the swingarm. The combination of zip ties and adhesive tape make for a very secure installation. To make these fit the CRF450L/RL, the only modification necessary is on the left side (chain side) protector, you have to notch out two sections of the protector where the bike's swingarm has the welded on tabs that hold the heel guard to the top of the swingarm. The right side protector fits right on with no modifications.

CRF450RL / CRF450L Supermoto Front Fender

 
We typically use Acerbis supermoto fenders on our bikes, but that particular fender does not fit the CRF450RL/L very well, plus the shade of red does not match the CRF's stock plastics. We happened upon the Polisport SM Line Universal Front Fender after seeing it on a few CRF supermoto race bikes from Europe.

These fenders fit the CRF450RL/L really nicely. Included with the fender is a stepped mounting bracket that bolts right up to the lower triple clamp, which the fender then attaches to. In addition to fitting the CRF450RL and L dual sports, these fenders should also fit other Honda CRF models like the CRF450X and CRF450R.

Installation is super easy, just remove your stock fender, install the stepped mounting bracket, and then bolt the Polisport fender on. Mounting hardware and stepped bracket are included.

We ordered ours in red, and the color is a perfect match for the CRF as well. The fender is also available in other colors like black, white, blue and so on. From a size standpoint, the Polisport SM Line fender is quite a bit smaller than the stock fender, and features slotted cooling vents at the rear.

Motogadget m-Blaze LED Turn Signal Review and Demonstration on our Honda CRF450L

Click the video above for a review and demonstration of the Motogadget m-Blaze LED Turn Signals on our Honda CRF450L Supermoto Project Bike.

We recently installed Motogadget m-Blaze LED Turn Signals on our Honda CRF450L Supermoto Project Bike. If you're looking for very small LED turn signals for your bike, these are definitely something to consider. Even at their very small size, they are super bright. We couldn't be more pleased with their quality and how great they look on the bike.

We're also planning to install a pair of these on the rear of our Suzuki DR-Z400SM Project Bike.

2021 Honda CRF450RL Parts

The Honda CRF450L dual sport is back for 2021, but Honda chose to re-name the bike as the CRF450RL. I guess they did this to maybe differentiate it from the CRF250L and maybe align it more with the CRF450R motocross bikes. Thanks Honda! This simple name change will surely confuse some customers.

At any rate, the bike looks to be mostly un-changed for 2021 except for a few things... new red number plates, new graphics, and they've added what looks to be hand deflectors (not real hand guards). Additionally it will reportedly have "updated ECU and fuel-injection settings". I'm hoping that is the extent of the changes, so all of the aftermarket parts we carry should still fit the 2021 model. If we find out anything doesn't fit, we will post it here on our blog, so stay tuned.

CRF450L Tank Bag, Tail Bag, Racks and Luggage

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.
WHERE TO BUY:
• Giant Loop Diablo Pro Tank Bag at SRmoto
• Giant Loop Buckin' Roll Tank Bag at SRmoto

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.
WHERE TO BUY:
• Flatland Racing Cargo Rack at SRmoto
• Nelson Rigg Trails End Dual Sport Tail Bag at SRmoto
• Nelson Rigg Trails End Fuel Bottle Holder at SRmoto

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.
