    that is very cool, one of the best swaps i have seen on 3ww i cant wait to see the finished product, the swingarm was a direct bolt up at the pivot using the bigred parts?

    thanks alot man, the thread really never got any respect on highlifter i was sadden that no one took interest, they were more worried about who was more hill billy on highlifter lol, then i found this sight and was like mabey they will like it lol. now there is a piece on a 250 fourtrax the made way back when that works sort of a spacer that allowed me to put it on ill have to take more pics to explain lol, the 300 swing arm is not as wide as the big red, but was way longer, i really need to find a seat and some back fenders if some one has some let me know im to this web site, also were cutting the front forks and adding 4 inch extensions, o and im going to 30's when i put the gear reduction in it out of my 300 4x4.

    Those are some awesome trikes. Looks like a really nice build. I bet it would tear through some snow too. Good to know how to swap newer bigger engines into trikes. Can't wait to see the finished product.

    looks awesome! i'm had thoughts of doing the exact same thing for a while now. I saw soemone posted about the 300ex 4V motor? will that also bolt in? that may be a better optin for my idea as i want to use it as a tractor to work on our riding trails. once I get the bike up to snuff, i plan on making a dozer style front out of 1/4" plating and then use a stainless steel 1/2" blade on the bottom. use a wench to lift and what not like a snow plow. this will let me move dirty easier and get the trails cleared and even fill in the areas being washed away! Anyway, props man! looks awesome! how hard was it to get the rear shaft area to fit? can you give details about this " emove clip and gear" thing i read about? I'm not sure what your refering too.

    thanks man no the 300ex 4 valve head has to have a special cam made because a 300ex motor spins the oppisite way of a regular 300trx, it has been done though i have seen it myself, o and if your wanting to make a work horse like that do a swap like i did and put a gear reduction in it way more reliable than the unsure 300ex head and more power to, i am going to put on in this 3 wheeler when i take it out my 300 4x4 this thing, , i know yall dont like quads but its an 88 model so its an old school honda lol, and the remove clip and gear, when you take the big red output shaft out the is usuallly an extra gear and clip on it just take it off.
