KFI Products 100740 Winch Mount for Polaris Sportsman XP

I had no issues with it since purchased for my 2016 Polaris Sportsman 570 until I went to change my front drive fluid. It blocks the fill bolt so I didn't even try to get to the bolt. Since the fluid is still good for another 50 hours per the manual I'm going to wait until winter is over before I change it. When I do I'm going to take the winch and mount off and see if a little grinding fixes my issue. If I had paid better attention during the install I would have noticed this and dealt with it then. Since anybody looking to install their own winch most likely does their own fluid changes, I suggest you deal with this when you are installing it and save yourself the hassle that I'm going to have to deal with. It does fit and work great though. I have been using my winch a lot with my plow this winter and the mount is solid.Update: Unfortunately I could not grind any of the mount to allow me to get to the front drive fluid fill bolt. I had to take the winch and mount off to do a fluid change. If I had known this I most likely would have really considered the factory winch and mount. It is still a solid product and I will just learn to accept the front fluid change will take a little extra effort, but all in all not too tough to remove.

For a '17 Sportsman 570. Tried another brand (made in China) which looked identical but did not fit. Sent it back and ordered this USA made KFI, and it fit very well, thank you very much. Saved literally hours of frustration, and I mean real frustration. Very solid, fit and finish excellent. One issue I would like addressed, is that once this is installed, access to the front differential fill plug is completely eliminate. The winch mount will have to be removed. While it will not be a huge inconvenience (since the KFI fits and mounts so easily), the removal/replacement of the mounting hardware will be wearing the mounting threads, something that takes enormous stresses to begin with. The nutserts on the mount hold well, but after repeated removal and replacement, ..... you get the idea. More an issue with Polaris but I think it should be addressed.

Just mounted today on a 2018 Polaris 570SP. In order to mount the Badlands 3500lb. winch you have to mount it with the four mounting holes pointed up and the winch motor pointed toward the right front wheel. I started by mounting it with the four holes down and noticed that the fairlead was off center. Went to my computer to read other reviews and found that some said they had to mount the winch upside down. Thanks to those reviews it is now centered and the motor is covered by the plastic front piece. Thanks to those that write reviews. It helps us all if we review products.

Super heavy duty, fit perfect on my Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring, didn't have any problem with the 4 side nut plates coming apart like others had. maybe they over-tighten them. An 8 mm bolt is tight at 30 ft lbs of torque. I used Locktite so they will never come loose. I used a 2000 lb Yamaha Winch (made by Warn) with the same bolt pattern, the winch mounts upside down. Remember! The winch is only as strong and powerful as the support bracket its secured too. Take my word! This is a STRONG winch mount !

Thank you very much for your prompt shipment and for all the items.I just need to say that you will need to review the specs for the KFI 100740 Winch Mount for Polaris Sportsman XP, because that item needs a little adjustment to be mounted properly on the ATV; It has to be recessed in the bottom left because it sticks in the differential of the front transmission and not enter the lower screws if it is not lowered the metal.According to the table of Amazon, this basis is for the Sportsman 570 touring 2016 and really need this adjustment.Best regards.

It took forever for the seller to ship the item, but it was received in good condition and bolted right in on my 2012 Sportsman XP 850 Touring with my Superwinch LT3000 winch.With the way the mount bolts to the winch, the winch is upside down when it's bolted into the frame. That, along with the part where it says "the winch cable should feed from the bottom of the winch for proper clearance" makes the winch cable actually feed from the top of the spool as it is mounted. I didn't do that, because #1, it doesn't cause a clearance issue, #2, it would have made my switch backwards and I had already wired and weatherproofed my solenoid connections. Easy enough to fix, you just swap the green and black wires on the solenoid if you can.

I installed on a 2014 Polaris 550 EP with power steering, I used it to install a 2500 lb Harbor Freight 2500 pound Badlands winch. I Had to install winch with motor on left side to prevent it from hitting radiator, and roller for winch cable had to be modified some. KFT actually sells the roller fairlead that fits perfectly. Pleased with winch mount. I would recommend it.

This winch mounting plate attached correctly to my 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. The product description listed in Amazon is incorrect. I confirmed that this mount would work on my ATV by checking the KFI website. I installed a Superwinch 3000 on my ATV and everything mated up nice and tight. This is a heavy duty winch mount, quality workmanship.

This product was easy to use i was a little doubt full because it said is would not work on a polaris 2015 450 but the champion winch i had bolted in fine and bolted up to the bike fine.
