The 86 Honda
« on: March 20, 2014, 12:02:51 AM »
Yep. An 86 Honda Fourtrax 350. Got it a while back but didn't have time for it. Off the top it needed tires, rims, steering slop fixed and a front driveshaft.

Ordered a driveshaft and I'm down in Houston and brought it with me to fix it. Pulled the driveshaft and noticed the carrier bearing was in pieces and the seal was shredded. Also noticed the swingarm bottom took a hit and cracked. Through disassembly I noticed that the fluids really need servicing and after having it running I noticed that the brakes weren't really there.

Anyways, I fixed the shaft, the seals and the bearings. I welded the crack and filled in the dent. Then the swingarm got painted. The steering stem got fixed and the 1/2" of slop is gone. I ran it around some but not too much. The carb needs some cleaning and rejetting. The electric start doesn't work but I believe that'll be an easy fix.

Besides that, I've got another set of wheels and I'm about to order some 27" tires and make a lift kit for it.

If I really feel froggy I think I might tinker with the idea of 4 wheel steering but the gas tank is under the seat and space is limited.

Replacement shaft and old one


Torn apart


Ready for welding
