TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 I got a near mint 1986 Fourtrax 350 for an unbeatable price. Only problem is it does not have carriers. I want it to be functional but I don’t want to cut into such clean plastics. So… I am looking for front and rear cooler carriers. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I check ebay regularly but don’t want to put beat up junk parts on such a clean machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 Welcome! There’s a forum folder called service manuals. Check that out and consider getting a printed manual so you have a readable wiring schematic. there’s another new member here selling an 86. Check out the rear rack on it—that is the other rack that was available. Here’s a pic of details for the front cooler carrier by Cambridge Metal and Plastics.

Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Here’s detail on the rear cooler carrier. it has a stylized logo on the rack. what are you looking to give for these racks? Edited May 30, 2022 by Goober Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 @TexRedHere’s a front one for sale mislabeled for a later quad https://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-HONDA-FOURTRAX-300-4WD-FRONT-RACK-/124878744565?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Here’s another from power sports nation also mislabeled https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Fourtrax-Foreman-350-D-86-Rack-Front-34787-/304386515181?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 might sound pricey but shipping will cost $60-$80.

TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 Assuming this is the rear that came off the same bike and is also mislabeled. Will it fit? Does it require cutting plastics? https://www.ebay.com/itm/114963347798?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3rZKe9QOQGe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=t7YjAehkQ0i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 30, 2022 @shadetree is very knowledgeable on the old school 350s When I look at the 86 -350 print , it doesn't even show a front or rear carrier option for the 86 ------- there are carriers for the front and rear in 87 and it show to only fit the 87 ------ then 88 and 89 shows to be interchange between those two years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 Interesting. Perhaps some aftermarket companies made them for the 86’s. @Goobers post above with the Cambridge Metal Plastics rack rack install instructions specifically said 1986… Hopefully they interchange. I’d just like to avoid cutting up the plastics. That’s why I’m eyeing the cooler carriers that is the existing mounting screws 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Yup the 86 Fourtrax was barebones and came just as Texred has. Hondaline offered accessories tho. I have a brochure that shows them. Two front and rear Carriers, accessory bumper, speedo kit, spotlamp, hourmeter, lamp guards, flag, mudguards. I got them all but the toolbox. I collected that stuff for about ten years and sold a bunch of it last year. Edited May 30, 2022 by Goober 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 Well dang. I got this thing a little over a year ago. I should have posted something earlier! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,977 Posted May 30, 2022 i'll save you some worry about the plastics. if you remove the front and rear fenders, on the underside, there is a place that is pre-circled for a hole where the racks will fit through once the hole is cut out. you really can't mess them up if you use the pre-templet to cut out for the rack legs. the frame right under these cut-outs are ready to bolt up the rack legs. you will need all the hardware to attach the racks to the frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 30, 2022 Did anyone mentioned , HondaLine products can cost an arm, a leg and not one but a pair of nuts and can be about as rare as elephant ! in a canary cage to find , lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 Yeah absolutely that’s why I asked @TexRed how much he expected to give for one or both! A $150 each offer would be an attention getter. $200 each, someone would post one up. Offer $400 and shipping i might think about taking one of mine off lol!!!

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 30, 2022 That PSN carrier in Goobers link seems like a needle in a haystack to find , it is kind of expensive and a little bent up , but rare ---- They are calling it a 350D , which according to the part finche Ds never came out till 87 , but I think they actually came out half year ------- you can see the rack that PSN has , appears to be the right rack for the 86 ---- it is a lot of money , but if you going to run with the big dogs , you got to pee with them too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted May 30, 2022 Yup @Fishfiles I don’t think you’ll find it cheaper. get the bends out, fit it to the quad. Smooth out the finish spray with Rustoleum rust converter, then hit it with black semigloss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 That other one you sent that was mislabeled for a trx 300 looks to be in similar condition with a slightly bent front upright. It will fit too, correct? Any benefit of the PSN over that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will fit too, correct? Any benefit of the PSN over that one? It will fit too. Not in as good condition—couple holes drilled in two of the inside lateral supports. Otherwise yes. if you have to order a second part, I would consider this shift shaft. https://www.powersportsnation.com/honda-fourtrax-foreman-350-d-86-shift-shaft-24610-ha7-670-34787.html Springs no longer available. i think the A and D model shift shafts are all interchangeable, @shadetree or @jeepwm69?

TexRed 4 Posted May 30, 2022 I ordered both of those parts. Thanks for all the help! I’ll be picking your brain again when it comes to finding all the right bushings and bolts. Keep me in mind If you see a matching rear carrier pop up somewhere! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
