Review on Optimized ATV Winch Mount for Honda Foreman - Extreme Max 5600.3136 by Joseph Pudic

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will NOT fit my 2002 Honda Recon 250

I bought this to install a Harbor Freight winch on a Honda Recon 250. It's tight, but the foremost flanges don't line up with the bars. It's not even close. The U-frames were also too short, but only just. I had to take longer ones and then shorten them. Finally, it doesn't fit my winch. I can line one hole at a time, that's all. If you have a warning or mile marker these can level for you but you will need to find your own hardware to mount it on this plate. It's a solid piece of steel and the curves match the frame. My plan is to use 4 of the 6 U-Bolts since my Recon is very light anyway. And I need to drill an extra hole in the plate to mount my Badlands winch. Finally, this plate aligns the rail flange just behind the bumper cross member. So I'm not sure what to do about it. I may have to cut it out and weld something in its place, integrating the flange and another vertical plate. Anyway, this is definitely not a bolt and shoot kit for me. It will take me a lot of plumbing and trips to the hardware store to get this working.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • Has problems
