Got the same winch on my 700-4D. HIGHLY suggest a second trip to HF and get the wireless remote.
Makes things a LOT easier.

I looked at that and it did not show it worked with the 5k winch..

It's not listed as a match on the packaging but it's hard to argue with success.
At first I didn't buy it also, but a neighbor had it on a small tractor and so the
cordless remote is about all I use now.

Just bought the same winch and remote yesterday after reading this thread. Can't wait to install it. Any recommendations on a mount for it?
Thanks for any help.

I used this mount from the Hondasxs store. Everything fit up nice and mounts to the frame.

Thanks will order one up.

It doesn't say whether it will fit a 2018 SXS700M2D. Does anyone know if it will fit for sure?

 

[Mudwing]

Thanks will order one up.

See if @Hondasxs has a discount available. I also ordered the dash switch from him cause the winch only came with a handlebar switch. It’s pre wired for some plug and play action.

I would say it will fit. There was really no change between ‘17 and ‘18.

Hmm I don't see that coupon in the online ones. Gonna have to swing by the store and see if the in-store ad has it.

I just asked about a discount. Will be waiting for a reply.

Got the mount from here last week and picked up the winch last night with a 20% off coupon and added the replacement warranty. hopefully I can get them mounted this weekend

 

[Texas-Hunter]

Hell, I wish I could find the time to get mine installed. Seems there is not enough hours in the day.

Looks like Harbor Freight is running a bunch of coupons on off road stuff through the end of the month. I got an email that has a coupon for the winch for $139 in it, the wireless remote for $29, and other things like jacks, light bars, synthetic winch ropes, etc. If anyone needs me to forward the email to them just DM me.

Installed my winch yesterday. Had a few challenges but it is all done and works. The viper winch mount plate is where most of my problems were.

1. The fairlead roller that came with the winch did not match up with mounting holes in the plate and I had to drill them out. They were about 1/8" off from lining up.
2. When the winch was mounted to the plate the top power post on it wouldn't clear the bumper mounting point. I had to space it out by using the mounting plate that came with the winch as a spacer.
3. The power cables that came with the winch are just barely long enough if you mount everything in the perfect spot. I tried to find some longer ones but would have had to make them myself as AutoZone, tractor supply and another place only had premade cables for cars.
4. I had to basically bolt everything together lose to get a lot of the bolts back in as they were all off from lining up between the plate, bumper and where the bumper mounted.
