Has anyone ever mounted a winch on a trike? Seems like it wouldnt be a problem to make a mount right over the front fender. Thoughts? Just an idea I am tossing around. Thanks.

I think the forks would bend if you tried to pull with it.

Yes a winch on the front of a 3wheeler is possible and it wont bend the forks. I had a friend mount one on his 200M and it never bent the forks it looked kinda funny but it worked.
