OVERVIEW
The KFI 100500 is a vertical winch converter engineered to adapt stock ATV frames equipped with OEM winch mounts to accept modern 2‑hole winches. By bridging factory prepped mounting locations to a standardized 3.100" bolt pattern, this adapter enables seamless upgrades to heavier-duty aftermarket recovery equipment without altering the vehicle frame. Constructed from heavyweight 3/16" steel and manufactured entirely in the USA, this high-quality converter provides trusted mounting solutions specifically for Arctic Cat and Textron models.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
Designed as a precision transition plate, the KFI 100500 maintains structural rigidity and load stability by transferring winch torque directly to the reinforced 3/16" steel body. Every unit features metal bead-blasting prior to finishing, ensuring exceptional powder-coat adhesion and enhanced protection against field wear, scratches, and corrosion. The vertical orientation correctly aligns common 2‑hole drive winches to the established 3.100" specification, facilitating smooth installation alongside included hardware and comprehensive instructions.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Operators rely on this converter to simplify the transition to modern traction gear without requiring complex fabrication or custom welding. The substantial 3/16" steel thickness absorbs immense ratcheting loads, preventing flex under strain while the standardized 3.100" footprint locks compatible winches into their intended positioning. Built explicitly for long-term structural stability, this adapter allows riders to upgrade their recovery capacity efficiently and confidently on legacy Arctic Cat and Textron platforms.
