Default Winch question

Hey all,
I'm going to be picking up a 2007 Sportsman 800 Stealth and was curious what winches you guys have. Also, I'd like to know where you got them. How about mounting plates? Thanks for the read!

Matt

You get what you pay for! Go Warn or Ramsey and call and call it a day! You will appriciate this advice in the long run. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Welcome to the forum.

I'd go for ebay, they're much cheaper, you can get the arctic cat Warn 3,000 lb RT, the only difference from the regular, is that it has an arctic cat stick on it, you can get a synthetic rope and the AC winch for less than $350, which is a steal IMO
also KFI mount are good from what I hear
Also your bike is prewired for a winch, the 2 hot wires, are under the right front fender, with a plastice cover that say winch wires right on it, and then you need to hook the hot (red wire) under the left rear fender with the yellow shrink tube over it to the posotive terminal of the battery, there is a metal shield under the right front fender for mounting the contactor to

If you need any other help just post back
