Is there a kit to convert my 93' honda 4X4 to disc brakes??

 

If you have changed your 11" wheels for the 12" wheels, HiLifter makes a disc brake conversion that fits the Fourtrax 300 4X4.

 

would it work for the 2wd?

 

Doesn't fit the 2wd

 

thats such crap. after drivin my friends 450quadracer i fell in love with the disk brakes i hated ridin it though cause i got used to it bein fast then i had to drive my trx home and it was so slow. i wanted to go fast so bad.

 

The Highlifter mods I notice seem to all fit together like a puzzle piece, and its hard to get away with modding your old FourTrax and keeping it on the cheap. If you want Disc brakes, you need 12" rims. If you get 12" rims, your going to have to buy new tires. If you get bigger tires, your going to need the lift kit. Once you get the lift kit, you're going to need more power to spin the bigger tires. Before you know it, you've spent so much, you should have just put the dough on a downpayment for a new bike.

You can run 25" tires without a lift, my rims were pull-off's that I paid $100 from the stealer. I bought a set of 25" Mudlite's off Ebay for $235 with shipping (keep the air pressure adjusted to maintain a 1" height difference between front and rear), $25 for a gallon of Slime. Since my dad owns an ATV repair shop - Ya'll would scream if you knew what I paid for the disc brake conversion.

The Fourtrax 300 is THE only ATV ever produced that has kept a decent resale value - Most quads after 4,5,6 years aren't worth much vs. the original cost, On the other hand, an 8 year old 2000 model Fourtrax 300 4X4 in good condition that cost around 4K new will still bring up to 3+k.
Why is this? The Fourtrax 300 is arguably the best, most dependable quad ever produced by any manufacturer to date.... I've ridden them all, from the new EFI's to the old school stuff, and there's nothing short of death that would make me part with my old 300.

 

i wont argue with that. ive been told i could sell mine for at least $2500. but ill probly have it till i die. if i get a new one im keepin the 300. its got a lot of sentimental value to me.

No, I know how much they cost. Just let me ask your considered opinion - was the money spent worth it?

Amen.

 

The drum brakes on any honda aren't much on stopping - IMO the disc kit was the best money I have spent on it. Tires for 12" rims are a lot easier to find, and have more options.

So, yes, in my opinion, the money spent was well worth it.
