Amazingly small!
If you watch the second to last build video, I believe he says (I can't remember of the top of my head) when he installs the rear fender. I'm curious about the side mirrors though. Unless I'm just completely blind, it doesn't look like he's running any, which I thought was illegal – especially in CA.

Pretty impressive production value on that video. Great aerial footage. I assume they used a drone to get the aerial footage of him going over that bridge. Is that a difficult thing to do with consumer drones? (I have no drone experience.)
Pretty easy with today's drones.

He wasn't running any mirrors. This is my mirror of choice for my dual sport bikes, and one of the only change I made before racing the Lake Elsinore GP on a stock CRF450L.

Double Take "Enduro" mirror - https://www.doubletakemirror.com/

Good visibility when in the 'up' position and very easy to lower down and get out of the way when offroad. While on the topic of good dual sport mods, here's my preferred turn signals. Bright, still have good visibility / placement (many of the flush mount style are very hard to see when actually following the bike on the road.... which is a negative), and are basically indestrutible. http://www.extremedualsport.com/index.php/products#!/Tuff-Lites-Univers…

Nah not really... watch the video 👇 Seely is just that good.

Honda has sort-out this bike pretty well, it's the same concept ( engine wise ) as the XR 600R engine noise (stationary ) is identical too. save yourself the trouble to even think to make it lighter, Red Moto ( Italy ) who knows a few things about Hondas and enduro bikes in general only were able to shave off a few lb/kg of the weight... They edited a ( lighter ) aftermarket exhaust which also gained a few more horsepower in combination with remapping.
This Is also my biggest issue with the 450L you spend 10/12k for a new bike + 1/2k extra for remapping + exhaust = 14k 🤯 this should come stock with the bike like KTM does!

I'm also not a fan of the rear end modification better edited some light weight seat foam for weight saveing but stay off the subframe IMO.
