thanks again sir you always have the good info!! that one is universal mount how hard is that to make work? do you know? What happened to the vids?

My bumper already had a plate on it. The universal mount bolted right to it. I did have to get new bolts. The ones they sent were not long enough. The factory bumper plate is what the receiver hitch is bolted to. I wanted grade 8 bolts anyway.

You can see the factory plate im talking of right above receiver.

The universal mount just bolts right there?

Yep

Does Yours have that plate laying on my tire in front of Your radiator

I gotcha I see how it works now. Man do you have a picture for every question? If so do you have the pic of your sister in the white tank top?

Still not sure if thats my sister, better go look again!

Not that I can see just stock bumper.

LMAO!!! If it is can I come to the family reunion?

That plate is a radiator guard. I took that pic for a write up I was going to do on over heating. With the plate on, my temp would always start to climb when I ran hard above 30 mph. On a hunch, I took it off. Now when I run hard above 30, my temp actually starts to drop, fast. If I run 40 to 50, my temp gets as low as 160

HAHA If it was I would have a house full !!!

I have a rad guard but it's a little flimsy piece of plastic nothing like that.

This really ain't were I intended this to go when I called this thread "winch"....

Do I need to run two batteries?

I do. but a REAL good primary would probably handle short pulls

Alright so since I'm knew to this, and you seem to have all the answers save me the trouble of asking the question of how to set that up?

I really don't think my primary battery is that good because like we talked before with all the lights on and the radio it will cut the bike off. Thats part of the reason I want to take off the halogen lights and replace with led's.
