Makes my brain hurt...my EHC continuing its long life is in my prayers every night.
Why this over the WirePlus?
No particular reason. I just wanted to go with what Big Dog came up with to see if it fixes issues that may arise from the old EHC. Also like the idea of being able to do so without having to cut off connectors and relanding new ones with increased chance of getting a bad conectors or one that is loaded into wrong hole of the connectors.
Niether one is the perfect fit as far as ease goes. The PDM required installing a whole new wiring harness while the Wire Plus requires one to cut out the old plug and then installing very small pins onto the wires, installing them into connectors and putting it all back together.
Install time may be less for the PDM, but not sure. Cost is about the same.
Wire Plus has been installed on a few and does not seem like to many issues, however there seems to be a few that have had some with relays for the hand controls. PDM is unproven at this point, may be a POS or may be solid, will see-only time will tell.
So personal choice I guess, then again why WP over PDM would be a fair question IMHO.
If your old EHC is still going strong, stick with it and honestly think most have held up in reality. Still with BDM no longer making motorcycle and who knows how successful BDPP will be, future options if the EHC goes down could be limited. I decided to go with the PDM to see if it works and possibly never have a future issue. I did keep my original EHC in case it does not work and can always go back if it fails.
To each their own choice for it does not matter to me. I get nothing off either one and do not sale any of them, just use them.
