Installing 2000 pound winch

[Reco56]

i just picked up a 2000 pound winch and Install kit from crap and tire for about $150 and im wondering has anyone ever tried this on a big red where could i mount this i could on the front but im worried im going to rip the front forks apart or something Let me kno plz

[muddyguy]

A buddy of mine mounted one on the front rack on his big red.If you don't have a rack ,I'm sure you could fab up some kind of rack for it.

ya ive got a front Rack so this Install ment is good to go then i can mount right on the Rack

[muddyguy]

My buddies works really good.Just make sure you mount it to the rack and not the forks and it should be good to go.

My buddy only had trouble with his charging system ( even with the winch) only when he left his bar warmers on.The switch on the warmers was very sensitive so he would hit the switch by mistake .

[Reco56]

Good to know was looking into bar warmers too but sounds like honda built these big reds with good setup ill post some pictures after i get all this hooked up Plus gotta get my Crankcase Breather lines all figured out want to bring the top vent line up to near the handle bars and put a small air filter on it but but anyways thanks a million :clap:

[muddyguy]

I will see if my buddy can post a couple of pics of his setup so you can see it.

[Reco56]

Alright sounds good to me Planning on going to alot more of these derby's the new bear claws should be here next week WOOT also wanted to get some better looking rims so i went to honda and the guy couldnt tell me if any of the rims would fit but by the looks the bolt pattern is the same just not the size a little bigger is better lol ill keep you posted thanks again

Hey man nothing wrong with mounting it to the back...lots of guys do it. A little extra in the rear is not always a bad thing;)

You like alittle more junk in the trunk, do ya? LOL

a buddy of mine had his mounted on the back it seems to work great

As for your gas tank,
When I had my Big Red and got a leak in the tank I used some "JB weld" It was like two sticks of putty that you mixed together. I just cleaned the leak with a bit of fine sandpaper and applied to the leak. I didn't really think it would work so I didn't get fancy, well my sloppy job was still holding well when I sold the quad.

Does anyone have any pics of a winch mounted to the front end or i was thinking on the back and having it pointed down to the hitch and a pully on the hitch so the hitch would be the pulling point i need pics lol

[Honda king]

use jb weld on the tank. i did that a few years ago and it is still holding to this day.then i put some red paint on her and it looked normal. mount the on the front
ited be cool
