Hmmmm...I haven't clicked the link yet...but let me see...what's a Honda lacking, that a Polaris or other Quad's have???


Could it be a winch? His Honda doesn't have yet.


Could it be a HOOK on the front so it can be pulled? No. (And don't say Honda's don't need 'em.)

Could it be a Pull point in the back?? Because Honda's don't have a decent strong place for a hook.

Could it be a Locking Differential Kit? ( Don't say Honda's don't need that either)

this thread reminds me of a few weeks ago at mud sweat and gears, this dude on foreman was stuck bigtime in the mud, I went to go pull him out and asked if he had a hook our pull point, he said he didn't, so he hoooked to his racks. another dude and I couldnt pull/winch him out, so a 4x4 truck came around and took to the task.

dude gets the tow strap I hand him, wraps it around his racks, I hook to the truck, the truck pulls forward and bog down, so he backs up a little to snatch the quad out....he snatched it all right, he split the thing like a lobster, ripped the whole front rack and plactics right off, and the quad was still stuck!

engineering at it finest!
