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.

How it looked prior to purchase. I dont know if anyone of you have seen this photo before but it doesn't show half the issues we had with it!

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!

You too have made a nice 300 out of it.

Thanls Retro, we are both delighted and it has made some chores so much easier! 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.

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.

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.

Hi: It's amazing what those TRX300 FM can do putting them to work.
