Hello, Is there a winch mounting kit for a 1987 Kawasaki Bayou KLF 300 two wheel drive ATV available and would this particular machines electrical system handle a 2000 pound winch like you advertise without an electrical meltdown ? Please include price for mount kit and for winch if there are any available for this machine. Thank you in advance for your time and effort on this request.

Expert Reply:

There is not a custom winch mount for your model ATV, however if you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver like # C45006, you could use a Winch Receiver Mount like # BDW20155.

With a mount combination like this, you could absolutely use an electric winch. My recommendation is the Bulldog Winch Powersports Series ATV Winch # BDW15014 which will work very well for your application and give you easy to use controls at your handlebars. I've attached a video to assist and you can see the prices for each part listed attached as well.
