Name is Jack. Happy to be around a helpful group of folks. Enjoy the pics. All original even the tires. Gentleman bought it from a honda dealer in state college pa in 1988 only used it to plow his driveway and drive around his property. Im looking to add a front rack to it and id like it to be proper not something i welded uo myslef but i cant find the front pipe carrier for it. Only one i found was on ebay for an 88 2wd that was thrashed checked 2 parts places and it is back ordered indefinitely which is understandable. If anyone has or knows where i could get the front carrier (brush guard ect..) for an 88 pm me.

WOW. Now that's a rare mint Cosmic 300.

Awesome bike.

The 88-only front bumpers are hard to find, especially for one in good enough shape to go on that machine.

Welcome to the board!

Here’s a grill guard
Search trx300 nos and sort high to low

 

[Firefighter3427]

Thanks guys. This is what i need.

 

[LedFTed]

wow,, never seen a honda atv with plastics, like that, that color. 1st one. be careful with it.. maybe get a spare atv..

Thanks guys. This is what i need.

That is a tuff piece to find for any year now days , finding one in good condition for your bike is going to be costly and there are quite a few different ones over the years , I have a 92 and it is a one year bumper , I never will push on anyone stuck ---- I could see where you might get another model year and modify it to fit , cause it seems the top section is about the same on all years , it is the mounting arms that is different -------- another option , one of my 300 I built the front bumper for it

X2 ^^^ most of the ones I've come accross look pretty beat up.

And As fish mentioned on deferent setups ...... Check this out (88 2wd carrier schematic)

 

[fishfiles]

Yo Wilson , from that drawing it looks like there were 3 different ones available , and none available now

 

[Jeepwm69]

Don't forget this one. Don't see it anywhere in the schematics yall have posted.

Stunning configuration actually – you’re right to be dang careful about how to accessorize it. You would have to drill holes into that beautiful fender in order to mount a rack on it. Maybe reconsider whether/why you need a rack on the front.
Need to put that up for ATV of the Month, Jack. Thanks for posting pics

I want that 300! It is absolutely gorgeous. The plastics are still the original color and mint. The decals are perfect. What a jewel. Please don't get it dirty or scratch anything. A rare find, indeed. I'll trade ya a 2014 Rancher and one cat for it.

 

[Goober]

This thing doesn’t even have the fender guards but it’s a 4x4.
Throw it up on fleabay and see what kinda offers you get. I bet someone give you $3500 unmolested

Yep, for sure!! A rare mint grey?? She'd have my vote!

 

[shadetree]

outstanding trx300fw !. you wont find any front racks or bumpers from honda ( oem ! ) for that atv. they just don't make them any more. ebay for used, or make your own is your only option today. salvage yards are a chance ?, but finding one that is not beat/bent up ?..well..if ya locate one ?, you better rush out and buy a lottery ticket !!..lol.

 

[Goober]

Check out this old Cosmic TRX300 thread
https://www.hondaatvforums.net/foru...ns/11154-1988-trx300fw-tune-up-need-help.html

From 2011 and pics of carriers and other options
Well idk if those racks were dealer options certainly seems like odd setups

 

[mac102004]

It would be down right criminal to drill any holes in that plastic to mount a rack.

And goober posted the missing >>

On Link 3 of this thread.

I snagged (googled) this pic, (i believe its a members) it's not the best in showing detail, (photo bucket issues!!)

That member last active April 2011–too bad

Well me I would buy that optional grill guard that’s been on fleabay for at least two years and be done. Can’t use harsh cleaners on the body but you can try a little Novus plastic cleaner or carnauba wax to remove stains and put a lil shine on it

 

[Firefighter3427]

No worries everyone I'm leaving it as is, I use it to patrol my property so I just mounted the mini gun on the back rack instead. Otherwise it stays indoors. The guy I got it from really cared for it so I will do the same as I don't have time for cleaning up mud I like to keep my stuff nice especially this bike in particular. Thanks for the appreciative comments. I'm gonna take some more pictures I'm just waiting for a good thunderstorm to roll in for a back drop.
