hmm...maybe I should change to 300R'inNY??

**350x'inNY** · 02-04-2005, 01:29 AM

Ok.... picked up the 300R motor tonight. Has anyone put one of these into a 81-82R frame? I got that '84 Hondaline Dealer Catalog in the mail last week. Has a table of the ATC's from '80-'84 showing what assessories are available for each. I know the 81-84R motors are basically the same, but I was amazed it didn't show the "HPO 300R Option" available for the 81 or 82R... just 83-84R. After seeing this in person, I'm concerned that maybe it was a height issue with the spark plug/extra cooling fins? or something to do with the exhaust or the different 83/84 carb? Anyhow... here's some pics of it..... has a couple issues, but will look at that more this weekend. It has great compression and the carb looks to be clean... very clean!

I don't know much about them, but looks like a killer find!

What is a 300R? Is it Bored out or is it a special 300cc motor I never heard of?

Air Cool Fins can be ground down like they do on the Harleys if its a problem. Unless you have to gind them more than 1/4" Those fins look tall though. If its a problem you might get away with it with the use of a Dremel

It was a Hondaline assessory kit. Officially called the "HPO High Performance Kit" Basically its a larger jug/pist/head Honda developed that bolted to your 250R bottm to give you 300cc, thus it's been dubbed the "300R" kit.... I'll scan in a pic of it from the Dealer catalog when I get home... got to head off to school!

Looks great, can't wait to see it in the trike.

**hrc85250r** · 02-04-2005, 10:30 AM

wow, its in awesome shape....hopefully you wont need a piston anytime soon....make sure you swap that carb out for a bigger f/s!!!

sweet find...it looks awesome

**Maine_Triker** · 02-04-2005, 12:04 PM

Looks good man. That is going to be one bad trike when you are done.

Boy I sure would like to be in your will.

bill you got a 82 frame and such right? i know the sifter shaft is longer on 81 82 than the 84 83 b/c blazer had to change his when he put a 84 motor in a 82 frame so i thingk you will have to watch out for that and if you put whole motor in their you will be fine b/c when i had my nos 300R kit it said it would not work on a 81 motor said would fit 82 83-84 so change whole motors and you might have a chance minus the shifter shaft frist thing i would do is get it running and make sure its in good shape i also know someone that will make pistons!

**BLAZERONE22** · 02-04-2005, 01:17 PM

Yeah you will have to change the shifter shaft. you should just sell that to me.lol

**350x'inNY** · 02-04-2005, 01:30 PM

Blazer... I see you were bidding on an aircooled motor. This one ended on eBay on my Birthday for ~$107!! there was a misunderstanding with another board member. He bid on it and met the reserve, I then pm'ed him after he got outbid and asked him what he was going to snipe it at. He said $200, so I told him I'd not bid, cause I was only going to go to $160. When I got home, the other guy won it for ~107.... the other board member here didn't rebid! Luckily, the guy who won it only lived a couple hours away... I asked if I could buy it off him for what he paid and a bit more to cover his travelling/hassle. So now it's mine!

Did anyone buy that one in Elkart that had the 300R kit AND the boost bottle? That was mounted on a "red" motor, so I'm assuming 81/82. I also have a spare 83R motor, and that mint FTZ racing head too.

So what's the deal with the shifter shaft? How "too long" is it? Does it hit the frame/footpeg or what?

just take the one outta you 82 motor and put it in the 83 84 R motor yes it hits the frame

**350x'inNY** · 02-04-2005, 02:04 PM

Well.... I was going to build another trike... not put it in the current 'R' I have. I basically have enough parts to build another 82R. I do have a few 83R parts, but I really want to do is have one 82R stock/OEM Other one with 300R/NASA rear axle/DG pipe/IMS tank/15 gearing etc.....

Bruce, you want me to send you both frames I have? I have that 82r with swinger and that poorly painted 83R frame. They are yours if you want them. I just need to head to the packing store and buy about 20$ worth of bubble wrap for them.............peace
