  1. Talon X
I have a 2023 Honda Talonx and I am looking for a winch mount that will work with the stock bumper and the new molding of the body around the bumper compared to the 2022 model.
I have added a couple pictures of the Front of my Talon so you can see how the body is molded around the upper bumper square support tubes.
Could someone please tell me which winch plate will work with the 2023 Talon 1000x ?

Yes, it hasn't hit the trails yet, sad to say. I picked it up last Saturday, when I got home, the rain and cold temperatures made it pretty miserable at about 40 when I took it for a quick ride. Sunday we had family over.
I hope to try it out some this weekend, then I am getting a windshield and wipers put on it Tuesday.
I will create a intro thread and post some pics of it, so far the only mod is I enclosed the back cargo area.

The genuine Honda one requires a different bumper. My boss (the wife) says I am over my limit for a while ... hahaha.

Thank you, and nice to meet you.

When I was buying my Talon, I wanted the dealership to install the winch so I didn't have to. They told me that I'd have to buy Honda's accessory bumper if I wanted a winch, so I ok'd that expense. Sometime later, I saw Talons with the stock front bumper with winches. I have no idea what fits with what bumper. :oops:

This is the Honda bumper I was sold to fit the Honda Warn winch -

Is this the same?

That mount looks like it will work and the front end looks the same. I purchased a winch mount from UTV direct. I was not paying attention it said it would work with a 2023 Talon 1000xs , I didn't pay attention t the "s" after the X . I called them , very nice people, sent them pictures and they said the front must have changed between 2022 and 2023; however, this video shows the 2022 with the same looking mold as my 23.


Thank you for your help.

Honda says that for whatever reason, but we've installed multiple winches on the oem bumper, OEM and aftermarket.

That's the one you sent me when I ordered the Viper V2 6000 widespool for my 2023 1000R FLV a couple months back, @Hondasxs.

I can confirm that, while it works with the factory setup, the only issue (at least for the R) is the two push pins that hold the very bottom of the black plastic cover on won't go back into place. The holes just dont line up.

But this may be due to the overall width of the winch I purchased. Or perhaps the R is a little different than the X.

I also had this issue i bought the warn branded mount for my warn 4500 for my 23 1000x-4lv it did not fit as you said push tabs in the way and no holes in the bumper so i purchased the factory honda mount also to find out it didnt work with bumper so warn mount 85.00 got a little mod i drilled holes to bolt support braces to bumper and notched bottom plate for the push dart brackets works fine. I would take pics for you but its in the shop for warranty right now we were on a 4 day trip to arizona and blew a live valve shock apart wires and all.
