A Winch on a BMW GS?
Check out this seldom-seen (well, probably never seen) bit of hardware on Honz’s GS. Yup, this is a winch. It looks pretty BMW-ish with all the apropos “Unstoppable” decals but really it came from an ATV catalog sans decals. The electrics are wired in under the seat where the operating panel can be plugged in. Honz does some pretty serious GS riding and occasionally finds himself in the mud, needing some help to get out. Now he can just wrap this steel cable around a tree and pull himself out of the muck. So far it’s untested. Jeff S. thought it would be a good idea to take the bike down the hill to little Evola Park and hang it from the rafters in the shelter… probably not a good idea, although an entertaining one. Take a look at Honz’s setup next time you are at the shop.
