    Smile Winch on 200m

    Hi everyone.

    I know there are lots of people who have winches on their atc's. Looking through the forum I have seen lots of posts about front mounted winches connected to slow plows. Has anyone mounted one on the back of their bike? I'd like to get some ideas of what others have done. I have a small winch that I would rather mount to the rear of my 200m, somewhere around the trailor hitch area. I was thinking of strengthening up the support arms that run from the hitch to the grab bar/frame and mounting it there. Has anyone else done this? What are all your ideas?

    if you maybe removed the rear tail light and got it tucked up under the grab bar that would be cool. I put a cheap winch on my 200es up on the front rack. I did have the idea to mount something like a 1.5" square reciever (like a truck hitch but smaller) on the front and back of the trike and then make the winch interchangeable between recievers. I haven't gotten around to doing it that way yet, but I think it would work great as long as I had good wiring hookups for the winch on the front and rear.

    I thought about mounting a small hand crank winch on the rear rack of my 200m. I think it would come in handy if you need to go backwards, but the terain is to rough to push it backwards.
