 Re: viper winches
I've heard they will work but I'm personally now sold on the gorilla winches ESPECIALLY since they are true waterproof and can't beat the prices on eBay Been needin to get one for my rhino as well

 Re: viper winches
The Gorrila winch I had installed by the dealership on my Foreman 450 was made by Superwinch.

 Re: viper winches
Little brother has one on his Honda Foreman. Other than the the fact the seller sent him the wrong model and he automatically voided the warranty ( broke the factory waterproof seal) it has worked great for him the times he has had to use it. He dos not "mudd" it on the weekend so it has not been used a bunch. He took it apart and reversed the housing, clutch was on the wrong end and rubbed the frame. He did not want to pay to send it back to get the one that had the cluch on the other end so he just fixed it himself. Been meaning to get one for my Honda but I usually don't put myself in a situation where I need it

 Re: viper winches
Several of my buddies have them on their atvs and they work just as good as a warn I have one for my boat but haven't had to use it yet since I've only been out in it like 3 times since I got it
