ok so in a previous winch thread i asked if the rear grab bar would be tough enough to fab up a mount and install a winch. ( i know i know, a lot of you think a winch at all is dumb, but i want it anyway) i already have my front mount planned, i am just trying to figure out if i could do some sort of quick disconnect and put it on the rear without tearing up my frame. thanks in advance for any help.

You could probably mount it but I kind of think when winching out it would be trying to pull the back of your bike down into the mud because of the angle. Also there really isnt much to mount to ,I would stay with front mount personally. You will probably start twisting the frame without beefing it up, and really how much extra weight do you want back there? anything can be done if you really want to.Is it worth it though?

Im thinking it would prob twist the subframe and cause problems.
