Just bought a new S 1000 and have been merrily modding it. The spending frenzy has seriously drained my bank account (and my wife’s patience).

I have a brand new HF Badlands 2,000 lb winch that I never used on another project. I bought a KFI mounting plate to make sure it has a solid mount.

I’m riding mostly in the California desert, so it will not be used that often. I know it’s not the same quality as a Viper of Warn, but can I safely get by with it for the short term?
