Does anybody have a KFI winch mount with the Strongmade bumper?

I want the bumper but do not like the winch sitting on top. I would like to put a light bat there. And I want the winch tucked up in the frame.

I know it would be better for the winch up out of the elements, but this is more of a personal choice.

Thanks.

Sure do, KFI3500 winch on Strong Made Bumper you will need longer bolts to go through the 3 layers of steel before it screws into the winch base. (Top Pic)

However you can buy the HONDA Winch mount kit and it will mount down low on the OEM bumper opening. Like the bottom Pic (Not Mine)

Up high though it does protect the radiator, keeps it out of the mud if you hit a deep hole, and you can see from inside as your winching. Just for some thoughts.

UPDATE...
No, the Strong Made front bumper for the Pioneer 500 will NOT work with the KFI mount as it comes.
See. Also refer to StrongMade instructions above.

That's why I posted the HONDA winch mount would work with the KFI Winch and Strong Made bumper :p

Thanks guys for the help.

I am buying this for my daughter & wife to ride with me and they do not like having the winch mounted on the bumper.

Mounted down low the winch will get muddy & be hard to use. But it's what they want.

They said they want it "hidden".

The things we do for family...

If you are referring to the BISON front bumper pictured below it appears the Honda winch mounting plate will work with the KFI winch. All winches have a standard bolt pattern, but I have seen 3 different implementations of winch mounts. Only the OEM Honda plate location looks like it will work with this bumper.

Jackal - I think you are right. Appears the Honda winch plate will work with the Bison.

I wanted the KFI winch plate mounted higher than the OEM Honda plate (and much cheaper).

I called Bison and asked them if the KFI plate would mount. They could not tell me which winch plates would work with their bumper. Makes me wonder about their design...

Thanks for all the help. When I finally buy the P500 and dress it up I will post some pics. And I keep telling myself it's all for my wife & daughter.

I REALLY WISH Bison would make an actual replacement bumper, they look really cool, but they are just over bumpers they don't actually replace the bumper.

Seems like if you get a front bumper you either have OEM Honda plate or the Strongmade bumper with winch on top.

Has anybody seen a bumper with the winch mounted in it?
