I been trying to figure out away of installing a tow hook on frt of my bike with the alum. product hook hoster. My options where limited and I didn't want to drill any more holes in the skid itself, so here is what I came up with. Other than making the bracket, I had to install longer bolts in winch head to make up the difference for the plate.

thats a awesome idea! did you make that hook?

 

[dirty4man]

yes, I just cut it out of 1/4 steel plate

ya dirty nice front tow hook. i made one for a 500 foreman..

Excellent thinking but one question does that interfere with the cable if your pulling down with the winch (rub on cable when winching) of does the cable clear. I think i'm going to look into this. Thanks.

 

[dirty4man]

Rockclimber I thought about the clearance issue also, but I have never been in a position that I had to pull down. We hardly ever use the winches anymore, it is a last resort. We carry tow straps and use them 90% of the time.

Nice hook man, you should cut 5 or 6 of them, I bet you could make some extra cash.

nice simple idea

 

[rubyandforeman]

ya dirty your is easier then mine. but if you have a welder i like mine 2

 

[dirty4man]

thanks everyone, ruby the welder wasn't an issue I have one also. Here is the one I made for the wifes bike, as you can see it is a common design.

Great idea but for us with a fairlead without rollers it wont work.

you know there's always a b/f or a popo in the group that thinks they can "follow" a honda.

 

[dirty4man]

I'm not going to lie, my bike has had a strap hooked to it a time or two along with the POPO's and CATs that ride with us. I don't cull much and I'm not ashamed to get pulled out.

If its never been stuck then your not trying hard enough or is it that you're going around on the children's trail.

 

[rubyandforeman]

ya all my friends are askin why i built one cuz they never get stuck. but i always try to find a hole that gets me stuck..

 

[big_daddy_bigfoot]

I get stuck all the time, but I don't keep tring to get out. I give it a few trys and after that I get help. I do go for the big a$$ holes too!

Just don't let them take pictures, to use against you at a later time.LOL. When i get some time i am going to make one for the back of my bike.

 

[dirty4man]

there are always plenty of picture when we get stuck and the strap is alway close. Here is a vid of me messing with a friend with his new Artic Cat.
