Parts specialists, Adventure Spec, have built on their accessories manufacturing experience to give the off-road capable Honda CRF450L an adventure nudge. The UK manufacturer believes in the mantra ‘light is right’ for adventure riding and are firmly behind the model as a longer-distance dual sport. As such, they have launched a range of parts that they believe transform the stock CRF450L into a multi-day adventure trail bike.

“The new Honda CRF450L has ruffled feathers in the lightweight adventure market. Is it an enduro bike? Is it an adventure bike? Or is it a trail bike? The joke in the office is we are trying to make a Honda Africa single. We want the functionality of that bike with its capability to enable us to navigate and be safe and keep everything protected,” says Adventure Spec. Their parts, they mention, give it that travel capability.

Mini Fairing

An easy to install mini-fairing designed to mount a Garmin Montana GPS, with holes for mounting a dual USB socket and Symtec Grip Heaters (not included). The fairing, which features a small screen, bolts to the top of your triple clamps in seconds and keeps your GPS up high so that you can access the Honda display. (MSRP: £89/$109)

Fuel Tank

The IMS Products tank adds 50% more fuel capacity to the CRF450L for a total of 11.4 liters (3 gallons). The tank takes only minutes to install and is designed with a Polyethylene Crosslink for increased strength and durability. (MSRP: £300/$325)

Bash Skid Plate

The rugged bash plate is built with 4mm thick Aluminium to protect your engine and is designed to be easy to fit and remove for oil changes. (MSRP: £99/$115)

Side Luggage Supports

Lightweight but rugged aluminium supports will give you the base you need for mounting regular pannier style saddlebags. (MSRP: £139/$165)

Rear Luggage Rack

Lightweight Aluminium luggage plate designed to strap a duffel/roll bag or attach extra fuel or tool loads. The rear rack can be used with our without the side luggage supports. (MSRP: £69/$80)

Tail Tidy

A Tail Tidy to reduce the bulk of the rear end, while still being fully legal for road use. According to Adventure Spec, the tail tidy had to meet the following criteria: Better visual appeal, smaller and far less prone to damage than the stock unit and retain the ability of the bike to stay in fully legal road trim (if the purchaser chose). (MSRP: £69/$85)

Radiator Braces

The aluminium Radiator Braces are designed to protect your CRF450L’s cooling capability. According to Adventure Spec, the ultra-slim build works well with the large-capacity IMS tank or stock tank, so radiator shrouds are not forced out widening the bike. (MSRP: £79/$89)
