2" lower than stock seat

For some reason, the CRF 300L and Rally's have really tall seat heights (over 35" and taller than the AFRICA TWIN!?! ), especially for a small displacement beginners bike.

So we have some options to get your feet firmly on the ground. We are pleased to offer these custom-shaped lowering seats that lower the seat height by 2". These are brand new original HONDA seats that have been hand shaped and re-formed to reduce the seat height by 2" There is still 1-1/2" of foam cushion in the main seating area, so normal ADV riding won't be an issue, but if you are a hard-charging off-roader frequently getting airborne, it might be a bit firm on some landings! :-) 

These were developed after my wife was about to give up on her Rally as it was too tall for her. She is relatively new to offroad riding and really felt unsafe and uncomfortable on the Rally, especially when riding on sidehills and slippery surfaces where she was not able to touch the ground when needed. We had already installed a lowering link and that helped, but she wanted it lower to feel comfortable. So we gave one of these a try and she now loves her Rally!  Easily installed in just a couple of minutes with common hand tools.

Built in Boise, IDAHO. Ridden and raced everywhere.

We are pleased to offer lowering links by KOUBA LINK for the Honda CRF 300L and Rally, which lowering the bike 1-3/4" (44.5mm)

Fits both the standard 2021-2023 CRF 300L and the Rally version.

Please be aware: All lowering link alter the rear shock linkage leverage ratio, effectively making the rear shock spring softer. And it's already too soft for most riders as it's set up for a 100 lb beginner rider.  If you ride primarily on the street, it probably won't be that big of a deal, but if you ride off-road on loose surfaces, it will have a tendency to make the bike plow through corners instead of carving corners. The front end will push if that makes sense.

NOTE: CRF 300L SPRING SERVICE COMING SOON - OHLINS HAS NOT RELEASED HD SPRINGS FOR THE 300'S YET. Y 

The 250L Rally spring service is currently available. 

This is a labor service fee to have us install the HD spring for your 250L CRF Rally.  This applies to the HD spring included with the Ohlins Rally shock or the Ohlins extra heavy-duty spring available separately.   

We can install the Ohlins heavy spring or extra heavy spring on your Ohlins shock for $85 for you if you like. Add the spring install service to your cart and we will swap the springs (Only available for Rally models and when the shock and springs are purchased together), usually the same day you place your order, so there will be no delay in shipping. 

OHLINS Fork Fluid Product Features:

Öhlins has developed high-quality oils for its fork spring kits. They include a range of fork oils which will increase the performance of original telescopic and upside-down forks. The different viscosities available make it possible to select the most suitable oil. (7.5W for 250L and 20W for the Rally)

• What distinguishes Öhlins fork oil from conventional oils is that it reduces friction, stays cleaner, has a long service life, and is highly resistant to foaming (known as cavitation). Together with the front fork springs from Öhlins, a considerable improvement in the responsiveness and performance of an original fork can be achieved.

Note: 2 quarts/liters required to completely change the fluid

PLEASE NOTE!  The CRF 250L and Rally models only have 1 fork spring and it is housed inside the right fork leg. Also, there is a single aluminum spring spacer included in the Ohlins fork spring kit, it is used on the standard 250L and goes on top of the right spring. It is not used on the Rally. This is covered in the provided instructions, but folks are overlooking it.    

The CRF 250l & Rally Recommended Fork oil volume 

 Oil recommendation can be found in the detail information for each Öhlins product.

Öhlins has developed high-quality oils for its shock absorbers, forks, and cartridge kits. They include a range of fork oils which will increase the performance of original telescopic and upside-down forks. The forks on the CRF 250L & Rally use  OHINS No. 10 Fluid, part number 01314-01

Together with the front fork springs from Öhlins, a considerable improvement in the responsiveness and performance of an original fork can be achieved. 

Available fork oil types are: 

The CRF 250L  Ohlins #5 (7SAE 5W) 

Ohlins part number 01330-01

The 250 Rally and 300L use Ohlins #10   ( SAE 20 W)  Ohlins part number 01314-01

The 300 Rally recommendation is 01314 and 01316 mixed at 1:1 ratio. The mix of these two oils equates to roughly SAE 30 W.

Ohlins STX46 Shock for 2021-2023 HONDA CRF 300L and 300L Rally The single biggest complaint from CRF 300l and Rally owners is that the suspension is sprung way too light and the damping is inadequate. The bike seems to be set up for a 100-pound beginner rider- Here's how to fix that.  A heavier spring or adjusting the pre-load will not resolve the issue. 

The shock comes with a 95Nm spring  best suited for riders 175-220 lbs and offers an additional 130 lbs capacity with pre load adjustment for gear or passenger. 

Kit includes the shock with remote reservoir, reservoir mounting bracket that locates the reservoir on the top of the left engine case, just like the 250L. (this is shown in the video below)
