Turbo Twister 539 Posted November 24, 2019 As posted by my dad (Bluezulu49), we rebuilt the bike shown below to running and working order again. It's a 1998 Honda TRX300FW and it was in terrible condition prior to me getting it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo Twister 539 Posted November 24, 2019 Toodeep, we scraped 3 buckets of cow pat off the frame before getting even more off it when the engine came out lol the whole front bottom of the frame had to be cut out and patched. All the photos of it are on the old website that will remain nameless! 5 minutes ago, SlammedRanger said: Dang thats a job well done for sure! She was rough when you started no doubt!

I have only filled the tank once and although I've only driven around 14 miles, it has done a huge amount of work for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mac102004 424 Posted November 25, 2019 Welcome! Looks great. If your looking for a rear skid plate to protect that diff and brake drum Ricochet makes a pretty beefy one might be worth checking out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your looking for a rear skid plate to protect that diff and brake drum Ricochet makes a pretty beefy one might be worth checking out. Mac, I custom made a skid plate that runs 3/4 length of the bike from the front bumper to the lowest rear cross member on the frame at the back. My dad has ordered two original protective shields for the diff and brake drum so we hope to have them soon and get the fit. I'll put the bike on ramps at the weekend and get a snap for you, my design works a treat on tree stumps as the bike just slides right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
