TRX Student 151 Posted April 19, 2020 Mocked up the rear plastics, and the rear axle, love the shine. I don’t have the proper wrenches to tighten the nuts, have to borrow from the local garage, so the final torquing will wait for sometime this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have a pipe wrench either. BUT! The mechanic at the garage is a buddy of mine, he's cool about lending me sockets or wrenches when I need them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 21, 2020 O'Riely's has the 41MM hammer wrench , when them axle nuts are tight it works well for breaking them loose , you hit the end of the wrench with a BFH ---- LOL I actually found this wrench at a flea market and when I looked at the size embossed in it , I was shocked , gave the guy $5 for it , great buy ----it is a pipefitter/ iron worker tool 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRX Student 151 Posted April 27, 2020 It’s coming close to finished! i still need to clean out the gas tank, been waiting for warmer weather. Ill wait for it to be all done and bring it up to my local garage to figure out what the exhaust needs to fit in place. Right now I’m making my plan for my led light upgrade. I was told from the old forum to wire in the led’s with the brake lights. I want to also wire in a pod light, similar to the 450 foreman, and that will be wired into the headlight/high beam. As I was poking around, mocking thing a up, I noticed this plug. It looks oem, anyone know what it’s for? Accessory guys? Right hand side handlebar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) that's the factory accessory plug ... it's live only when the key is on ... Edited April 27, 2020 by _Wilson_™ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I’m trying to find the accessories that would have plugged into it, lights? Some sort of spot light? Would an oem winch have gone to this plug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted April 27, 2020 it's not rated for much being the fuse is only 15 amp.... NO!! you would not run a winch from this plug .... but the rare hondaline work light (yes) thats about the only thing from honda i would use ... i ran a digital police radio off mine, and had no issues .. @Goober is the only one i know of that has that rare hondaline work light. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quick search on eBay yielded nothing. Very rare. Ill keep the plug incase though ! Will look into figuring out how I might be able to mount a big red light cage as a headlight . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On my kid's 300 I have LED pods run to the tail light wire. That way with switch on, the pods are on wherever the hi/lo switch is set. I wired a lightbar in on the front rack and put it on the high beam wire. so with lights on lo beam, just the lower pods are on, and with lights on high beam both lower pods and lightbar are lit up. You can see the setup on the 300 in this pic. The lightbar fits underneath the factory hoop on the front rack perfectly. Had to cut out the little crossmember right in the middle. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 4,048 Posted April 27, 2020 Those accessory receptacles came from the factory with a matching plug that the user can attach wires to. #10 on the parts fiche: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/1995/trx300fw-a-fourtrax-300-4x4/wire-harness The old TRX350 had them too. Here are a couple of those receptacles and plugs on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Honda-TRX300FW-TRX-300-Fourtrax-4x4-Auxillary-AUX-Power-Accessory-Plug-Used/254026265982 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-Honda-TRX300FW-Fourtrax-300-4x4-accessory-plug-B364/114060486883 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goober 1,555 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) I mounted LED pods on my 86 TRX350 using a set of original spotlight mounts for the basket carrier. I don’t like the LEDs because they blind everyone—they’re tiny but bright! then i found an original working lamp that came off a junked TRX350–my fam got it for me for Christmas a couple years ago.it was mounted on the front rack using a TRX300 kit. You’ll see the cord is stretched out but here’s how you wire it. My friend wanted my TRX300 so i removed the spotlight thinking I would replace it with a newer Ram mount version that @_Wilson_™ suggested. ive since put the lamp on my farkled up 86 model although I don’t want to take it on trail.
