Thanks for all the input everyone. Guy sold it out from under me before I could get there this past weekend.

Any thoughts to get this thing on a trailer? Disconnect rear drive shaft if possible?

It is a 2WD, so shouldnt have to pull anything except the fan and cover. Thanks for the input and resource! I'll give it a read tonight.

That seals the deal for me! Now just have to find a place to work on it this winter lol garage is already full.

Hey Everyone, I'm looking at buying a project bike and have a question before I go in over my head. I can get the machine for $500 and its in good shape considering the year. It is an 01 Rancher 350 ES 2wd (5300 miles/530 hours) and is stuck in 3rd gear. The gear is not flashing on the display and the foot shifter does not do anything - frozen in place. My first thought is either shift plate or shift motor. Thoughts?

That’s because they cut the tabs for the plastic guard and welded a plate on it lol I have this one saved as a past resort

It is, but this is one of the places I called. They just order it from Honda after you order it. So also backordered.

That one is missing the two side arm mounts. I looked at that as well. I like the shield that is on it.

I called about 20 different companies that claimed to have them in stock - NOS being one of them and they didn’t actually have any. can you post the link to the $199 one you found? I don’t see that anywhere.

I spoke with PSN and they have nothing in stock or coming in currently. I’ve exhausted all resources on ebay. No luck at all

Hey everyone, I'm on the search for the front piping/bars for a 2005 Honda Rancher 350 ES (TRX350FE). These are backordered indefinitely from Honda and no one seems to have them in stock. Part number: 81150-HN5-N00ZA or 81150-HN5-000ZA I'm perfectly fine with surface rust, as long as it isn't completely bent out of shape. If anyone has any leads on one, let me know please. thanks!

I forgot to mention that you have to flip the brackets for the lines as well. Hope this helps!

I had this same issue at first. Give me 30 min and I can grab some pictures for you.

The line is VERY close to rubbing but does not and no extra stretch. You have to reroute the brake line to the back side of the shock.

I have the same kit on my Foreman as well. I haven’t experienced this issue yet but will definitely keep a closer eye on them now.

Project is coming along nicely! Got just about everything knocked off the list. I’m only a few items left. Left fender flare, bend out front rack and paint, screen protector for meter, and lastly I caved and ordered the rear disc brake from superatv.

AKATV has done it again! Send him a water-logged and destroyed board and he sends back a gem.

Sorry Eric!

Hey Fish, I gave SuperAtv a call and they said there was no discount code for our forum. I spoke with Erin.

Both of those sound very intriguing. Anything else needed for the disc swap? Disc, pad, caliper and bracket I’m assuming.

Picked up a project 2005 Honda Rancher ES 350 today. Snagged it for $900 - running and driving. Needs a couple things: New meter - this meter is far beyond repait sadly. AKATV is already on the prowl! Handle bars are slightly bent - assuming its been rolled in the past. Was able to bend it back to about 90%. May just leave it like this for a while unless it bothers me more Both rear fender flares - Was able to sort the right from powersportsnation, but cannot find a left yet Angle sensor - Powersportsnation for the win Front brakes - once i get everything else sorted, i'll be be getting the disc break conversion from SuperATV New Tires - on the way already Front skid plate needs to be reshaped - nothing a rubber mallet and spray paint can't handle Left CV Axel - ordered already I have heard that there are a lot of interchangeable parts from later models. Any thoughts on things I can/should swap out?

I can confirm that all the pins and connectors are good.

Yes. No consistency once so ever.

@Goober this is extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I’m willing to bet you are right since when I twist the harness it also kicks in sometimes.

So I went through the effort of tearing all the pins out and they all look good. I have no clue where to even start next. I’m still having the same issue. The FCU is hard wired to the battery ground currently and I’m still only able to get the fan to turn on with downward pressure to the connectors like shown in the above video. anyone have an idea where to look next?
