Imagine trying to jump with that heavy winch on the front? You'd give you're shee one hell-of-a nosejob. I think the electrical portion would be a pain. If you want to do it as a project for yourself,go for it.

The banshee itself can be used as a winch.

 

You already have a wench on your Shee, you just have to use it. Next time you are going out, wrap 25 - 50 feet of strong polly rope around your bumper. When you get stuck, find a tree out in front of you to tie onto. Run the rope through the bars of your lower left a-arm and under your left foot peg. Tie the bike end of the rope to one on the spokes on your rear sproket. Start your bike and put it in low gear and SLOWLY let out the clutch. Some care must be taken to ensure that you do not catch the rope in your chain. As the rope is wound around your axle you will pull yourself out of the mud. Running the rope through the front a-arm will keep the front end from digging in, or flipping over. Good Luck.

You can get one of those handheld lever-operated deals. They're pretty light, and fit in a 6-pack rack easily, or you can find other creative locations to hold them while you ride. They seem to work really well. You'd have to have a battery or pretty darn high output stator to run one, and there's more additional weight in the front.

you know you are a redneck when you put a winch on a quad that dosen't have a battery.

Any time I want to put a winch on my Banshee I just point and tell her to get on it.

 

BADA BOOM!!!!!

You mount that winch up front, or on the seat? :P

Usually on the seat. The funny thing is, the winch doesn't really do anything for the bike mechanically, but it sure makes it look better.
