What type of fan did you use and where did you get it? Also, how did you mount it? It gets quite hot here in the summer and I've worried about that a little bit, especially since I tend to ride fairly slow.

 

Jerms,

I am sure you have seen those cheap little fans that sit in big rig trucks on the dash or sometimes they mount them right in front of their face.

I got mine at Walmart and even purchased 2 and haven't opened the other fan yet.

I can't remember the exact price but I think they were about $10.00 apiece.

I mounted it right in the open area where the exhaust head pipe comes out.

I took the fan mount off and then took zip ties to mount it to the frame. There is some mounting points already there for the very expensive honda fan. I then fed the wire up through a hole and over to the power point on the 300 when I want it on I just plug it into the power point with a cigarette lighter type plug.

With it on, it even blows the hot air away better for more comfort. I am sure you know what I mean by the heat that comes up from there in the summer.

I can take a picture of it if you want. Just give me your email address if you would like to see it.

Speaking of the accessory plugin, where in the world do you get an adapter so you can plug standard 12vold lighter-plugs into it? Yeah, yeah, the dealer, right? E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E, I'll bet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Jerms,

Do you still have your plug that came with the trx300 4x4?

I then went to Walmart again and in the fishing --boating section they have the adapters that you can wire the cigarette type plugs into and then into the 300 power point.

I didn't buy my quad new, but it does have a rubber thing that has electrical contacts in it and it has a little rubber cap that seals it, too.

 

There you go, thats what you need to wire into.

Then you can power lots of things. I don't hunt myself, but I also carry a Q-beam around at night to look at the deer that roam the property.

So, are you saying that you were able to find an adapter that fit it, or did you have to do some jury-rigging?

I will send separate pics. You did have to wire to the Honda connector. After that it was no problem you just plug in.

Ok, sounds good. I appreciate all your help.

 

Jerms,

I have an extra plug in adapter and fan just in case either one breaks.

Pictures will be in the mail soon just got done taking a few.
