CRF300L HeadLite, discrete navigation tower (Ver 2)

Intro

This is a DIY-project for building a replacement headlight for the European (2021-2024) version of the CRF300L. I suppose the US version will also fit because the headlight looks the same. It is not compatible with the new EU version (2025 – ) nor with the Asian/Australian version of the CRF.

It makes it possible to attach an Asian/Australian headlight visor and also functions as a lite navigation tower.

Instead of the original Asian LED unit, it uses street-legal Hella M60 low beam and high beam lights. The beam of these lights can be adjusted using printable spacers (+/- 0 to 5 degrees).

On top of the “HeadLite” there is room for mounting a GPS, phone, CarPlay-unit or small tablet.

The weight of the entire HeadLite (Ver 1) without the Navigation Mount is 1560 g, which is 730 g heavier than the stock headlight.

If you own or have access to a 3D-printer, have some soldering skills, you can build this entire HeadLite yourself.

The previous version 1 consisted of a Base Frame, mounted to the yoke (not triple clamp as an English friend pointed out) and a Headlight Frame which was mounted to the Base Frame. This construction made it easy to install and remove the headlight but the design was not able to withstand the wobble when going over rocks and through potholes.

Printing

Filament used: PETG

Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.2mm

• Perimeters: min. 6 (important for strength)

• Fill density: 15%

• Fill pattern: Gyroid (important for strength)

• Supports: Support on build plate only

Brackets

This version is made up of 2 brackets, one for the clutch side and one for the throttle side. These 2 brackets will “sandwich” the Hella lights.

The original headlight can be detached after removing the 4 bolt.
Remove the 3 washers and 4 rubber grommets from the original headlight unit.

The 4 bolts and 1 washer will be reused:

The first washer is used for the clutch side bracket. The 2nd washer is attached directly to the bike. It is the upper attachment point, situated on the throttle side of the bike.  
When installing, this comes first.

Visor Frame Ver 1.3

Adjusted for HeadLite Ver 2. The tubes are longer. Added some reinforcements to the bottom. This part can be printed with only 2 perimeters instead of 6. This will reduce the weight significantly, strength is less important here.

It should also be possible to use the previous versions (1.0 and 1.1).

Print Settings:

• Layer height: 0.2mm

• Perimeters: min. 2

• Fill density: 15%

• Fill pattern: Gyroid (important for strength)

• Supports: Support on build plate only

You will need to reuse the 4 screws from your European Visor.

Ignore the cut-out of the visor in the picture, these are the remains of a previous project.

	1 x CRF300L Visor 61300-K1T-J50ZA https://bikerzbits.com/visor-set-fr-wl-type1-61300-k1t-j50za.html Since the 2025 version, the European model also uses the Asian visor. This means that the part will probably be available at European dealers.
