Garda Skid Plate Install on 2025 Honda CRF300L Rally | Dropped Bike Diaries Adventure Upgrade

In this one, we unbox and install the Garda skid plate and crash bar package. Check it out. Welcome back to Dropped Bike Diaries! In this episode, we’re installing the Garda Skid Plate on my 2025 Honda CRF300L Rally — a must-have upgrade for riders who push their dual-sport or ADV bike off-road and want serious engine and frame protection. If you ride rocky trails, gravel roads, or adventure routes, the stock skid plate just doesn’t cut it. The Garda Skid Plate adds heavy-duty coverage without extra weight, so you can ride harder and worry less about engine case damage or rock hits. • Bike: 2025 Honda CRF300L Rally • Product: Garda Skid Plate • Tools Used: Socket wrench, torque wrench, Loctite, Allen keys • Location: Garage install / adventure prep Garda Equipment - https://garda-moto.com/ Gear I Use Camera Gear Fujifilm XH-2 = https://amzn.to/4az4tDa Fujinon 16mm = 1.4 https://amzn.to/4rYCN1I Fujinon 56mm = 1.2 https://amzn.to/4qHSt8s DJI Action 6 = https://amzn.to/4aJOQcb DJI Action 5 = https://amzn.to/4qM4cTv DJI Osmo 360 = https://amzn.to/3MxSGwY DJI Mini 5 Pro = https://amzn.to/4aCeyPF DJI Neo 2 = https://amzn.to/4qHxv9u Recommended Camping Gear Sleeping Matt = https://amzn.to/3ZJr4YM Tent = https://amzn.to/46gYd1D Inflatable Pillow = https://amzn.to/4rsVcUu Pillow = https://amzn.to/3ZKe4Sz MSR Whisperlite Stove = https://amzn.to/4kIsCeY MSr Pocket Rocket Kit = https://amzn.to/3OOh65W Flip Fuel Transfer = https://amzn.to/4aGmIqc GSI 2-4 Person Cook Kit = https://amzn.to/46hjUyt Aeropress Go = https://amzn.to/4aL5WGE 0:00-3:08 Why I switched to the Garda 3:08-10:30 Unboxing 10:30 Installation
