humilde12a Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 was up guys , have anybody installed or seen a winch installed in a shee, or have any photos or a link that might help me out. Quote
BansheeBrian Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 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. Quote
boonman Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Winches belong on trucks........ Not on a banshee...... Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) 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. **Quoted Blacksmith Posted: Jan 28 2004, 06:42 PM URL** Edited May 6, 2004 by DIRTBIKEZ Quote
Banshee~ Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Get someone to put one on a banshee with ps Quote
banshees and beers Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 I don't think the shee has enough weight to act as a good anchor for one. but hey man you can do anything you want with your bike Quote
. Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 I saw in dirtwheels somebody just started making a mini winch setup thats lightweight for more sport oriented atv's Quote
nater006 Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 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. Quote
SANDSTAR Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 you know you are a redneck when you put a winch on a quad that dosen't have a battery. Quote
nater006 Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto...productId=48170 Not too bad.. only adds 10lbs. The ones i'm thinking of were more linear and portable.. lighter by a few pounds, but they didn't mount anywhere. That one would probably do ya fine though. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Any time I want to put a winch on my Banshee I just point and tell her to get on it. BADA BOOM!!!!! Quote
nater006 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 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? Quote

You mount that winch up front, or on the seat? 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. Quote
