Hi guys, just wandering, do the 420 shocks fit the first gen 300? I've read up a bit on them, they fit the later models, with a lift, can't remember how much, however I'm not one for lifts and that, prefer my axles as less stressed as possible!! Alternatively anyone had issues with the shocks, drivetrain etc? Would in theory cutting a coil or 2 say, take some of the ride height out? Absolutely love my 300 only issue I ever have is trying to get parts lol!

Thanks @Fishfiles do you know if the older gen engines fit in the newer style frames? I was always curious just in case Id need it, I know the plastics, tanks, front arms, shocks anything like that are different, but wasn't to sure if the engine would bolt over

Cheers everyone! And yea it was standard in a lot of the later models over here @_Wilson_™ and thanks @bcsman I really would be stuck if I had to choose between which one I could keep forever tbh 😂 @Fishfiles thanks for that, my rev limiter is astronomical, and it's noticeably quicker than any other 300 I've been on, was it just till 1990 they had the bigger cams? I assumed it did, but wasn't 100% sure

Cheers @_Wilson_™ just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the pre 1993 engines fit in the later model frames? Mines a 1990 and one of my mates has a 1995, it's amazing the small little differences between the 2, not to mention that parts for first gens can be a b!?)! £ to find, anyone know exactly what's differenr between the first and the second gen?

Cheers guys!! Hopeing to stick around, I've got a foreman 450 aswell which my grandfather has now, it was to mint to ruin, plus I've always preferred 300's, so, so glad I got another, your really not wrong there @Fishfiles!!!!!!! Anyone guess the shade of red the 300 is? So far only one person has noticed its not a honda standard colour 😂

Hi guys! Just wanted to make an appearance, I see most guys are now on this site to the other one so thought I'd join up, just a quick thing on my 300 recently got it, just finished rebuilding it from the frame back up, (was pretty ! rough) and of course thanks to shadetree who helped me through it 😉 only thing I didn't have to touch was the engine (typical 300) basically it was just a wee project to pass the time during this covid 19 crap, wasn't fussed on looks just wanted everything underneath to be mint, had it out for its first spin yesterday, definitely got put through its paces, bogs, wide open most of the day and (flying higher than any 300 ever should off peat banks tbh) performed flawlessly not a single issue, not the best photos but here she is, gold star to anyone who can guess the colour of the front and rear plastics 🤭
