I just added a 4500lb Viper winch to my Pioneer. I won an auction on eBay from Moto Alliance which included the winch and the Moto Alliance mounting bracket. I didn't recall seeing any pictures of that particular bracket on here or online anywhere else so I figured I'd share some pictures of it. It seems rock solid and hooks directly to the frame in 4 spots. The only thing I did not like about it is that it basically has you mount the winch upside down so you have to unspool the winch then re-wind it back to complete the install and route the cable when you're finished. That wasn't a huge deal, however, as the instructions said to unwind then re-wind the winch anyway since it's not wound tight when it leaves the factory. I've yet to winch myself out of any mud holes, but the winch seems to work great on all the test runs I've done around the yard just pulling myself up hillsides. I don't ride very rough or submerge my machines like submarines so hopefully it holds up well and does what I need it to do!

I bought a 3500lb winch from Moto alliance and put on my Honda rincon 3 years ago. After the first year of use plowing snow and winching out here and there I took it apart cleaned it and repacked it with grease, made it quieter and it's still going strong

Sorry, I didn't think to take any. I'm working overtime hours all weekend so I won't have a chance to get a picture but I followed the direction of a guy on YouTube and basically mounted all my stuff under the hood the same as he did. Search "Honda Pioneer winch install" on YouTube and you'll find it.
