Hello, I just bought a 1988 Honda TRX300 4x4 and I wondering if the 424 selector switch from the 93 and up would work? I cant seem to find one for my year.
Thanks
Thanks
just thinking outside the box here, but why can't someone take a front drive shaft from a '93, and use it with the switch out in a '88 model ?, seems to me, the only thing that is different is the drive shaft itself, correct ?. the frames are the same as far as lay-out ?, so..think it could be done ?.no there is no direct bolt up 4x2 for an 88 , I run the 4x2 kits on 95 and up 300's , I have been told that you can modified the drive shaft of the 4x2 to work with your 88-like 91 , I think the number is 2 inches longer , the info is on this site if you look
Honda changed the length on some trx300 front drive shaft ?, or made the frame longer ?. but yeah, anything is do-able, if ya got the time and means of doing it.I know it is doable , I have ridden with people who have the 4x2 on the 1st generation 300's ----------- for some reason the 88 to what ever year frame and the placement of the diff makes the front drive shaft like 2 inches longer than the later models , I have seen pics of the modification they do by extending one half of the 4x2 kick out by cutting the shaft and welding a piece in ------------
From what I have seen online extending shafts is pretty simple providing you have the equipment to do so.Thanks for all the replies, I will have to order one and have it extended
Look on the 300 Facebook group there are guys extending them and selling them for the older 300's, I want to say they are around $550

They do quite a bit of fabrication don't they, quite neat as well.
I wouldn't mind betting that they're using a type of spring steel. I may look into it, I'm across the pond but they certainly know how to charge for such a simple extension!
Once your set up and have done one I can't see it taking any longer than an hour to extend a shaft. For $550 you could have a shaft turned, splined and hardened here.
The 424 itself is $370, so $180 for sleeving it. I don't think there is many guys doing it so I guess they can charge whatever they want. As far as I know they are just cutting the original shaft, putting a piece in it and sleeving it. But I could be wrong. I also don't know 100% if $550 is correct, but I'm about 75% sure that's what I seen lol. The ease of just buying a 424 off the shelf is one of the reasons I prefer to stick with the 93+ 300's.Look on the 300 Facebook group there are guys extending them and selling them for the older 300's, I want to say they are around $550
