VOLUME 57 ISSUE 21 MAY 27, 2020 P55
We selected the Enduro I/T
120/90-18 rear and the Enduro
S/T 90/100-21 Fatty front and
came away very pleased with
this choice. The hybrid natural/
synthetic rubber compound holds
up well and the tire works well in
a lot of different types of terrain.
The tall knobs that are still DOT
compliant are great for loose con-
ditions. The larger front provides
a little more compliance and con-
tact patch on the ground, which
is great for a variety of conditions.
When we replaced the tires,
we also used the MotOZ 3-mil-
limeter natural rubber heavy
duty tubes. Those provide a lot
of confidence and reduce the
chance of getting flats in rocky
terrain. The CRF450L does not
come with rim locks, so, because
of the now increased traction, we
installed Motion Pro LiteLock Rim
locks. The nylon composite de-
sign includes aluminum hardware
and are significantly lighter than
a traditional aluminum/rubber
rim-lock.

Rear Brake
Light and License
Plate Holder
Like a lot of parts on the Honda
CRF450L, the license plate
holder is overbuilt and heavy. The
stock brake light is also overkill,
so we tracked down a DRC brake
light and license plate holder
(right). The Japanese company
makes a lot of cool products and
we think this is one of the clean-
est light/license plate options for
the Honda. The kit also takes 1.1
pounds off the back of the bike
compared to the stock parts.
When we were searching for a
place to buy this product, we
found that a lot of companies only
listed it under the 2019 model
year, which is the same for 2020.

Holder: $75.00

The DRC rear brake light/license
plate holder (right) fits really
nice with the stock mounting
system and removes 1.1 pounds
from the back of the bike. It also
will not catch the tire like the
stock unit (left).
