You are officially the first person on RUclips to have the 2022 XR650L. It looks great this year. I'd take ALL the original plastics off. Tank, shrouds, and seat as well. Keeping all the OEM stuff nice is worth it in the end. I'd rather wreck and scratch up some cheap UFO, Acerbis, Polysport plastics.
John that’s EXACTLY what I’m doing. My bike has 1 mile on it from the factory, I ordered the polysport front fender, just ordered the UFO rear, acerbis 5.8 gallon tank and a set of side panels just so I can keep all the factory stuff nice since it is the 30th anniversary edition.
Pro tip. Get some shrink wrap and slip a few inches of it outside the wires before you connect then use a bic to shrink it. Works beautifully. Looks professional.
That's the same set up I've got on my 08 XR650L, totally changes the looks of the back I love it, and I love your background music, could be because I from Tennessee LOL.
Make sure you get one of the thicker front sprockets for your XR. The stock one is thin and will wear out the splines. You can get them from Rocky Mountain ATV for like $12. I've got a hair short of 14,000 miles on my '16 XR. Super low maintenance bike. Enjoy!
Agreed. If you don't change the front sprocket to the thicker one, you're gonna wear out the splines on your output shaft, and that's gonna be an expensive repair. Unless you add a cush drive to your rear hub. Pick your poison.
Excellent video, thank you. Maybe you (or someone else) could explain to me the reason for changing out the whole rear fender, rather than just replacing the light. I don't quite understand the rationale there, if it's just a matter of enhancing the rear light fixture.
I was wondering the same thing and would like to see that rear light on the stock fender for comparison with smaller led stream like looking for the front and rear turn lights?
I admit the new rear fender and tail light looks much better.... however you are missing the licenses plate light now..... and they will pull you over for that ! you need to be able to read the licenses plate from about 50' away so it needs to be well lighted.
Yes you are absolutely correct! I didn’t like how the stock plastic also has those clips to hold the wires. And I like how this light sits a bit more flush then the WPS. Just personal preference, it’s only $30 more for the whole unit. And then you have a spare just in case!
I am too! I’ve got some parts coming in this week. So hopefully I’ll have more videos posted soon! I just did the smog delete, I’ve been riding it to & from work to make sure everything is good. I shop I’ll be posting that video this weekend!
Great video. I want to put a white rear fender on my 2007 Honda xr 650 L, but when I click your link it says the year only goes up to 2000. Just wondering if it will fit my 2007? Thanks.
Hey so I’m having the same issue with the back hole for the bag not lining up. Did you drill a new hole for the bag to plastic or did you use a drill bit to drill out the metal brace that’s in the way ?? Thanks for the video, helped a lot.
Can you please link the license plate mount that you used?? I just got my 22/23 xr, so far I’ve done a set of 1 1/8 protaper cr high bends with 3/4 risers and a set of the tusk hand guards with turn signals built in. I’m ordering the fender now, I ordered the WPS light but the wires are super short, the fender from UFO is DEFINITELY the way to go!!
@@MostroMoto I actually ended up just measuring and building my own out of 1/8 aluminum, I put an 1/8 step up into it with a tiny angle to it and it worked out great!! Wish there was a way to add pictures here but unfortunately I can’t. That bike is a torque monster!!! Still have to do the smog delete on it yet and put my rs2 slip on onto it tho, but I got a quick 5 mile ride on it yesterday and I’m loving that thing!!
Any problems with cops and no license plate light? I dont think many people do much night riding with this bike, i just dont wanna give em’ a reason to stop me.
You now just need a battery (+box) eliminator, flat XR side panel and revert the rest of the bike to XR as well. And of course kick start, which is how cool guys prefer to start their bikes (and yes they can start it even if it is hot and soaked, just need to know how). In short, the best part of this bike is that it is still available new. But need to revert back to full blooded XR.
Everyone to their own taste, I rather leave the original on as is, it’s look legitimate and classic, the new one looks cheap , no side reflectors and blundered, but I respect everyone’s taste 🙂
Yes your absolutely correct! I just really like the 600r fender, it’s cleaner (no clip hole for the wires / no stickers) also the light is a bit different then the WPS. And now I have a spare fender! Thanks for watching
I’m keeping the parts for now, if I ever decide to sell the motorcycle it will be nice to have all the original parts. Also they are good for spares. But thank you for watching!

Yes it’s been a great bike so far! I ordered a new tank so I’ll be able to take off the existing one and save it. Thank you for watching!
@@MostroMoto That front fender is about 6 inches to long, anything you can do about that? Thanks..

@@ericscavincky Smart man! 😎
Good thinking
Pro tip. Get some shrink wrap and slip a few inches of it outside the wires before you connect then use a bic to shrink it. Works beautifully. Looks professional.
That really cleans up the rear of the bike and makes it look 100% better! Really loving that white with the retro graphics.
Thank you, I agree makes the bike look much cleaner!
That's the same set up I've got on my 08 XR650L, totally changes the looks of the back I love it, and I love your background music, could be because I from Tennessee LOL.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you like the music.
What is the advantage of replacing the fender and rear light as opposed just the light?
Id like to know as well, did u ever find out?
Looks sweet man! Really look forward to seeing more about this bike! Hopefully I'll be getting one soon!
Awesome! Thanks for watching, I hope yours comes soon

what size do u recommend?
@@diegocarrillo2976 I stayed with stock gearing so the front is 15 tooth (stock rear 45 tooth).
Great video thanks - the XR650L looks awesome for this year - beautiful bike !
Excellent video, thank you. Maybe you (or someone else) could explain to me the reason for changing out the whole rear fender, rather than just replacing the light. I don't quite understand the rationale there, if it's just a matter of enhancing the rear light fixture.
I just got a 2023 and am wondering the same thing?It is out of stock too.
I was wondering the same thing and would like to see that rear light on the stock fender for comparison with smaller led stream like looking for the front and rear turn lights?
The UFO light lens doesn't fit the stock honda fender
Say man, at 6:25 you point at the bracket that you got off of Amazon. Do you still have that order info so I can order the same bracket?
I love my 93!!!! Enjoy it brotha!
Thank You!
I admit the new rear fender and tail light looks much better.... however you are missing the licenses plate light now..... and they will pull you over for that ! you need to be able to read the licenses plate from about 50' away so it needs to be well lighted.
Sure looks nice in white!Got an 08 red one,Think ill try get white fenders!
Hi! New viewer here. Good looking piece! And good video! Thanks.
Thanks for watching! More videos to come 👍🏼
Awesome man just Awesome
Super clean 🤘🏼
Thank you!
This is a very well made instructional video.
beauty bike, looks great in white
Am I missing something? It looks like the taillight and license plate fixture could be replaced on the stock fender and accomplish the same thing?
Yes you are absolutely correct! I didn’t like how the stock plastic also has those clips to hold the wires. And I like how this light sits a bit more flush then the WPS. Just personal preference, it’s only $30 more for the whole unit. And then you have a spare just in case!
@@MostroMoto Ahh, you'd spend the better part of $30 on just a new tail light, I imagine.
Greetings
As always great video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Keep producing more mods and how the bike performs video.
Thank you! Keep an eye out for a video within the next day or two. Just been really bad weather recently so I’m going to try and get out tomorrow!
You did really good, its lighter and cleaner. I am looking to do something similar with my KLR650.
Thank you! That was my goal, I’m sure you can find a good product to make your KLR look cleaner, those bikes are so popular!
@@MostroMoto ruclips.net/video/Oio6mM2l_3s/видео.html
Curious to see how your bike turns out and compares the other bikes you have/had.
I am too! I’ve got some parts coming in this week. So hopefully I’ll have more videos posted soon! I just did the smog delete, I’ve been riding it to & from work to make sure everything is good. I shop I’ll be posting that video this weekend!

You bet!

It looks so much better than the stock light monstrosity.
I totally agree!
Looking good and very informative video I have a question about the license plate bracket if you can put a link for that thanks and have a great day
Did the tail light come pre installed on the fender ?
There has to be a more stream lined looking turn signal lights that are tucked in for front and rear with LEDs I'm hoping????
@Mostro Moto did you get rid of the OEM parts that you took off of the bike
Looks good 👍
Can you please link the license plate mount that you used?? I just got my 22/23 xr, so far I’ve done a set of 1 1/8 protaper cr high bends with 3/4 risers and a set of the tusk hand guards with turn signals built in. I’m ordering the fender now, I ordered the WPS light but the wires are super short, the fender from UFO is DEFINITELY the way to go!!
I had to make my own, search up dirt bike license plate holder on Amazon. There are many different options.
@@MostroMoto I actually ended up just measuring and building my own out of 1/8 aluminum, I put an 1/8 step up into it with a tiny angle to it and it worked out great!!

Still have to do the smog delete on it yet and put my rs2 slip on onto it tho, but I got a quick 5 mile ride on it yesterday and I’m loving that thing!!
Where did you find the fender I have been looking for a red one?
I have a link below the video, not sure if they make it in red
Looks better, but what about illuminating your plate!?
That’s the only downside to this set up. However the brake light does illuminate the plate a little
@@MostroMoto I see. Only problem is that in my country stuff like this doesn't fly. Unfortunately. Plate has to have it's own light.
What did you buy for the license plate?
Can you add a link for the tag bracket that is the correct width for the 650l holes? Thanks. Nice video!
This one is custom made, unfortunately there is no specific link. If you look up dirt bike license plate holder you could probably find something
Ok thank you sir!
Is that Leaning on the Everlasting Arms?
cool bike - good luck
Thank you!
Bro You sell the tailight and rear Fender?
@@metalmaniac8735 no - just a honda fan
Is there not a inner fender under the seat for mudsling and water. And you will need to install a license plate light I use LED lights cheap and easy
Yeah there is on my bike
Where did you get the tag bracket?
What’s the advantage to doing it this way vs. just putting a new light on the stock fender?
Any problems with cops and no license plate light? I dont think many people do much night riding with this bike, i just dont wanna give em’ a reason to stop me.
Hi,is it possible to attach a side car to this bike?
I have no idea! I’m sure it is possible with the right tools & design!
Hahaha my 96 xr 600r have the same exhaust and the same backlight 😂 she is a beauty! Is the tank out of metal or plastic?
You now just need a battery (+box) eliminator, flat XR side panel and revert the rest of the bike to XR as well. And of course kick start, which is how cool guys prefer to start their bikes (and yes they can start it even if it is hot and soaked, just need to know how).

Nah, the 650l is so much better with the electric start.
How do I get those side plastics on my DR 650
This bike is Solid" pure"""
Now you need to get rid of those huge blinkers.
good job, good video, thanks
Thank you too!
Shame the wiring couldn’t be routed under the fender. If the lense is removable it could be fed under the mudguard
Get the UFO HO03615 headlight to complete the XRR look
I just get my 2023 XR650L 3 weeks ago activo desde Allentown pennsylvania
u need the big gum mofler for a better sound
What happened to the DRZ? Hopefully you still have it
I had to sell it! Didn’t have enough room to keep it and I ended up not riding it as much as I wanted
How do you do a blinker delete?
Plenty videos online about it, it is very simple
Everyone to their own taste, I rather leave the original on as is, it’s look legitimate and classic, the new one looks cheap , no side reflectors and blundered, but I respect everyone’s taste 🙂
Can’t you just buy an oem tail light lens and add the bulb and buld housing?
Is it a fender, fairing, or mud guard, I'm confused.
I guess technically it could be all of those haha
Looks good. Not DOT approved so better hope a "stickler' cop doesn't spot you. Also, you may want to think about a license plate light.
Do you still have the old fender and light/plate holder? If so, interested in selling?
I do, but not interested in selling at the moment. I appreciate you watching.
The glass say.For offroad use only.
What’s the fuel range on this bike
Around here you would get a ticket for not having the light illuminating the license plate as the original tail light did, a DOT requirement.
The white is starting to grow on me. I didn’t like it when I first saw it.
You said 'tool bag'!!!!! LOLS!!!
I believe all you had to do was buy and install the taillight.
Yes your absolutely correct! I just really like the 600r fender, it’s cleaner (no clip hole for the wires / no stickers) also the light is a bit different then the WPS. And now I have a spare fender! Thanks for watching
Do you want to sell the parts U took off?
I’m keeping the parts for now, if I ever decide to sell the motorcycle it will be nice to have all the original parts. Also they are good for spares. But thank you for watching!
یکیشو بفرس واس من😍
want to sell that rear fender
Sorry I like to keep all the parts just in case i want to sell it
So loose the front fender too plz.
It looks like a totally different bike
🇩🇴❤️🙏
Keeps calling the fender a fairing
Why does it matter, you clearly understand. You need a hug or something?
Dont change that front fender dude fk
The original one is really awful.
I agree!
Before was nice now it is ugly
I disagree
ummmm why????
