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

[350x'inNY]

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!


p.s. Keep your dirty socks off my screen!

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

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 :w00t:

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!

[twgranger]

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

[hrc85250r]

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!!!

[trikerider2oo7]

sweet find...it looks awesome

[Maine_Triker]

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

[atckowalski]

Boy I sure would like to be in your will. :D

[Xowner]

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]

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

[350x'inNY]

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! :w00t: 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?

Bruce

[Xowner]

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

[350x'inNY]

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

[ScottZJ]

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

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!!!


You know I know where to get them. With a slight hone you can use the new style forged piston.

As far as getting it to fit in a 81 82 I dont know, but a need to . I have a couple 81 82 I can get cheep. I have a line on a couple more Honda Line jugs.
Its tight in a 84 .

The key in the description of a 300r kit is ,It's stock bore. Not punched out that far.

[200xman]

It fits in my 81. I just got a brand new kit and mocked it up quick. Time for the paint and polish now.

[350x'inNY]

Will it fit with the exhaust and gas tank on it.... that's the final question! :D

You trust Mike to hold that frame while you took the pic?? :eek:

hahahaa

Looking good... we might have to start a 300R class at TF05! :TrikesOwn

Bruce

[200xman]

The exhaust and carb mocked up just fine. If I have to reshape the tank a little that's fine with me.

[a-camp]

So your useing the stock exaust??? And
carb ?? I ran this one like that a bit.

[edog]

Boy I sure would like to be in your will. :D
I'm first get in line.LOL :)

[200xman]

No, the exhaust is a N.O.S. Kerker pipe and silencer and I have a 86R carb, Protec aluminum boost bottle intake and no air box.

[atczack]

Hmmmmm, I just got an '84 250R....that 300R kit look's pretty neat...hmmm...I may have a new project....

[mike from long island]

[350x'inNY]

Meanwhile.... back at my 300R thread.... mike you just have 300R envy.. stop aggravating others and adding replys to yourself like a edog... hahaha

I was looking at my 82R today and the 300R motor and a spare 83R motor I have at the shop. The 83R motors look like they have a shorter shaft, but there's an offset on the shift lever. Why can't I use the 83 motor with that shifter lever? I don't see where it'll hit my frame?? The 82 motor has the longer shaft, but the offset in the shifter lever looks nearly straight out.
