| I can vouch for them. I bought one for me and my mate and had no problems at all and easy to wire up. |

I have completly had mine submerged in mud and water on a few occasions and had no trouble , apart from owner abuse they have performed better than expected , i have dragged 2 ton with mine and done it on single line pull, which is an abuse of its specs, if the dealer has charged you that much you would want a warn winch for that, feel free to call me to discuss anything , will pm you with my number

check out Austraco's winch, they look the goods, not as cheap as the ebay type, But if I needed one that would be the winch for me...

to be honest I dont want a 4x4 yet, still like doing the trails not so easy...  but on the rare occasions I need help there's always a few there that like to see me beg for help. BUT when I go the 4x4 my heart will always be green but the head screams canam. But either way, Big Bore bikes are all I will own

my 4x4 system is voice activated, when I'm stuck I just yell out "GRIZZLY" or "GLW" and i get towed out, lol. But the renegade looks the ducks guts and they have fixed that anoying brake system on the 2010 models so they are even better now.

gooday blokes FINALLY got that ebay winch fitted to my Honda looks the part the mrs took the winch to an engineer in Ayr to get the mount made up and the just ripped her off so i just made my own up and it didn't come with the bolts so we asked for them to be sent i made the mount out of heavy box tube that made the bolts to short or they sent the wrong ones so i had to get my own bolts its fitted to the bike now and looks great Thanks GRIZZLY for the LINK

not listening, not listening and even though we planned another clearwater this year... there is another planned for april/may 2010 before it gets too wet (out there, too wet  ) this will test your bruteforce.

here are some pics of the new winch
the damage on the front plate is from the old winch that had no feeder rollers and big rocks
side view of the right hand side
back view right hand side
left hand side
this is a shot of the main switch and the remote control is next to the fuel cap

have i tried it out ha! "it's a HONDA" dah of course not ! nah, yeah pulled my ladys bike out of a sand bog up a bit of a hill the other night it worked great im very happy with it . And yes it"s a very tight fit i had to off centre the winch drum so the wider tyres didn't rub on the motor and there is only millimetres of room left to play with when i saw the size of it i was a little bit  worried
