Well, when you get to winching, be careful..ended up bending up the winch mount which on my 700i LE is part of the front bumper assy... Was not happy with winch that came standard on the Kymco- had either no brake or one that didnt keep the plow up when winched up....Anyway, dealer warranteed the winch, and we came to a deal to upgrade the winch to a KFI......went to go have it swapped out and found the bent up mount..... Currently waiting for new bumper to arrive so we can change the whole thing out...Just wondering how the new winch (3500#) will work when the 3000# winch bent up the mounting plate....I think there may be some plans to reinforce that plate as part of the install......
As the stomach turns.........

Update 4/22:  Got new bumper and updated winch installed today- Dealer fabbed up a plate to strengthen the mount- Just got home and have a 4 day work shift schedule, so wont be able to do some testing until this next weekend.... Now we're going to see how Kymco stands by their product... (If they warranty the mount....)
