Viper Winch

First time thinking of not installing a Polaris brand winch, I hate the price tag. Was thinking about going with the Viper V2 wide spool. Anything I should be aware of prior to moving forward with it? Also does it match up well with most aftermarket bumpers? Thanks for any and all help.

I have the V2 winch. It is a great winch with the following cons. It is larger than other widespool winches and made it impossible to mount the lower valance to the original brackets (when mounted in the typical hidden location). Also, when mounted in this position the forward facing terminal is on the lower front and prone to damage. To avoid this you can clock the winch case, however, it is not symetrical and will not match up when clocked 90 degrees. To deal with these issues I went with an HMF front bumper that mounts the winch on top.
