They'll climb anything and the engine will keep going just fine, even when the rider's brain melts from lack of Oxygen.

For our next trip, we're considering some upgrades to the CRF250L, but we'll be leaving the engine exactly as Honda intended.

The bags I found on eBay so made sense to get the racks which I imported from the USA there's another company in the USA that's just started making racks about June time last year which is happy-trails.com

If you want to lower your CRF250L
drill 10mm at a pitch of 12mm
this will lower it 50mm's.
You can dial the rear spring to the softest.
Our lady handels it perfectly.

Be carefull wenn you pitch 3/4" - 19mm you get i kind of a low rider i.m.o.
