Chinese Handle Switches Atv

Best Buy Winches -Superwinch 1130220 LT3000 ATV Winch | Towing ...

I spent the last few weeks looking for a winch and was real close to buying one from our local Harbor Frieght. After looking at HF’s winch, I decided to wait and do some research, the seals around electrics weren’t tight enough to keep bugs out let alone moisture and some of the plastics had cracks or pieces missing. Either really poor job putting out on display or packaging to store was grossly inadequate.

On to the superwinch….I researched google, many many atv parts and add on sellers, Ebay, and of course amazon. This winch was by far the best value in a name brand winch (you get a generic mount plate, remote (corded) switch, handlebar mount, relay, overload and all wiring necessary to mount the winch, and the more user friendly mechanical brake (units with these tend to cost more as well . On top of that most name brand winches were selling for similar money for their 2000 lb winch and this Superwinch is 3000lb. My only disappointment was….Made in China, though a producers that has higher product appearance requirements for products they’re assembling for Superwinch. All in all very happy! Made in USA would have been better.

This winch is one of the most quiet winches that I’ve ever heard. The supplied instructions are generic in the sense that it only shows you a diagram of how the parts are hooked together.

I mounted this winch on a 2006 Arctic Cat 650 H1. All total it took me roughly 3 1/2hrs to get everything mounted, wires ran, and everything hooked up. I bought a winch mount for my Arctic Cat 650 H1 off of Amazon.

The winch mount has the middle portion raised to compensate for the front tow hook welds. The middle portion of the winch mount is raised up roughly about 3/4in. The supplied winch mount for this winch doesn’t exactly fit as described in the instructions. I turned the plate backwards on the winch because of the supplied winch plate design. If you put the plate the way the instructions dictate, the cable will rub the supplied winch mount when mounted on a Arctic Cat 650 H1.

I ended up having to go to Lowes and buy 4 8×1.25mm bolts to make the SuperWinch bolt up using the Arctic Cat winch mount. The supplied bolts (Arctic Cat winch mount) are about 1in too short.

Despite having to go buy new bolts (that fits), the hardest part was just running the wires for the SuperWinch. I have the solenoid for the winch mounted on the inside of the left side panel (right beside left knee). The wires running from the winch itself I ran up through the steering column area and around the airbox. The breaker box (about 2inches long) I was able to fit underneath the seat near the rear brake reservoir. The handle switch is mounted on the right side handle bar below the front brake reservoir. The remote control switch hookup is mounted on the left side of the ATV right below the left handle bar, 1/2in above the “Arctic Cat” sticker logo. The rest of the wire hook ups were fairly simple (just a matter of plugging them in).
