I have a KFI and have had zero problems with it...but if you are comcerned about it EMPs mount inverts the winch for a straighter pull...but then your winch is mounted upside down

What I did is unwind all of the cable, then reverse the wires on the winch motor, the winch will turn the opposite way, and put the rope on top of the spool, giving it a better angle, and go in and out correspond correctly with the switch. It worked well for me, hope that helps. I used the KFI mount.

I literally can’t find just the “Honda” mount You can’t even google it and find it. Is it a Warn mount? All I could find is the one on the genuine accessory page that has everything you can think of with it for $299, which all I need is the plate. I’ll attach a pic. I’ve called 3 different Honda dealers and they told me that they sell the KFI mounts.

That's a bad idea. This applies too much load to the bolts and mounting feet of the winch. There's a good chance the mounting feature of the winch will fail in a full load pull. The cable should be wrapped off the drum on the side closest to the mounting feet or with the mounting feet in compression.

I just installed a bandland 5000 on our 2017 1000=5LE. The EMP mount will not work with the bandland 5000 winch. The winch body will not contact the winch plate due to how wide the body is. The KFI works fine with the Bandland 5000. Yes the angle is lower than I would like but it works fine.

Take a look at the "ultimate insurance" a KFI multi-mount kit (receiver mounted on front bumper, winch mount on receiver hitch, quick disconnect cables for front and rear). This allows you to quickly move and operate the winch from front or rear as conditions warrant. I had this on two previous SXS's I owned and fortunately never had to use it (that's why I call it the "ultimate insurance"). KFI does not yet have the complete kit on their website but have all of the components. If you contact them, they can put a kit together for you. It is on my "next Spring" list of to do's.

It's a cool idea until you're stuck and it's still not on the right end. For me having the winch protected out of the way has more advantages.

I thru this together until I found something I liked better. Still using a year + later no problems.

I used the KFI mount and badlands 5000. Works great.

I am using a kfi mount and a 4500lb superterra 45 with synthetic rope. I mounted it Christmas day 2016 I have abused it and not one problem out of the mount or winch.

I got the warn 4500 with synthetic rope along with the Honda mount and install kit. It was the easiest install I've ever done in a winch. Almost all plug n play on my 18.

You can always carry the winch mounted on the receiver "plate" in the bed where it is protected then place it in the front or back receiver as needed

I would never consider wasting bed space for that. If it is in the bed, it's on neither end and I guarantee that I have to walk around the machine and kneel in slop to install it. The worst combination of the 3.

Or you could have one on each end!
