Manual 4X4 Actuator for 2014+ Honda Foreman & Rubicon

Say Goodbye to 4WD Electrical Issues – Upgrade to a Reliable Cable-Driven 4x4 System

Tired of dealing with failed factory 4WD actuators? Upgrade your machine with our Manual 4X4 Actuator for 2014+ Honda Foreman and Rubicon. This cable-driven manual actuator eliminates the need for the problematic OEM electric system, giving you full control over your four-wheel drive system — no electronics, no headaches.

Fits 2014+ Honda Foreman and Rubicon

Compatible with all 2014 and newer models equipped with Honda’s factory 4WD system. This kit replaces OEM part number 41700-HR4-A21, and is designed to be a direct replacement with multiple selector options available to suit your machine.

Built to Beat the Elements

The factory electric 4WD actuator is prone to failure, especially in muddy or water-filled conditions. Our manual 4x4 conversion kit is 100% waterproof and built to handle even the most extreme off-road environments, giving you reliable 4WD engagement ride after ride.

Choose Your Selector Style

We offer three configuration options to match your riding style and machine:

  • Handlebar Selector – for quick access and control

  • Side Cover Selector – mounted conveniently on your side cover

  • Side Cover Selector with Hi/Lo Shifter – for DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) models only

Optional 4WD Dash Light Upgrade

Want your factory dash to still indicate 4WD engagement? Add the optional light upgrade plug to maintain 4x4 and Diff Lock indicator functionality. Without this upgrade, the dash indicator will not light up — the function still works, but the light won't show.

Easy, Smooth Engagement

Engaging 4WD should never be forced. For best results:

  • Shift while going 5 MPH or less

  • Turn your handlebars side to side during engagement to relieve drivetrain tension

  • Never force the lever — it should slide easily when following proper procedure

Key Features:

  • Cable-driven manual actuator – no more failed electronics

  • Replaces OEM Honda part 41700-HR4-A21

  • Compatible with 2014+ Honda Foreman & Rubicon

  • Available selector options: Handlebar, Side Cover, and Side Cover with Hi/Lo (DCT only)

  • Optional light plug enables dash indicators for 4WD and Diff Lock

  • Sealed for waterproof reliability in extreme conditions

  • All necessary hardware included for a seamless install

Why Make the Switch?

If you’ve ever been left stuck in 2WD or battled with unreliable 4WD engagement, the Manual 4X4 Actuator is a game-changing upgrade. No more electrical failures, no more downtime — just simple, reliable control of your Honda’s 4WD system.

This is 4 sure the best upgrade!

We installed this 4wd handle selector on our 2022 520 in just a few hours after watching the video twice. It works as it should every time.

Works great

Little bit of a pain to get properly adjusted and go together with light on dash. Once all of that is done works great.

Works Great

Works great once you understand how it properly works. I wish the had some paper instructions to go with it, the videos weren't the best.
