My pdm works great so far!
If your gonna make the switch to HD controls you will need to start by cutting your handlebars. HD works off of one inch bars, BDM uses inch and a half bars.....the rewire itself will be fairly straight forward. Several folks have gone the HD route and I'm sure they'll chime in. FWIW, my WP unit works perfect.

You will have to find one that someone has and wants to get rid of as it was a BD product and, as we all know, they are gone now.

And don't contact Curtis at Wild Steed Worx as theirs is still in R&D and won't be released for a bit yet.

Franco, you are showing support for the other guys!!
:bang:That's a lot more money than you need to spend anyhow
If you want to stay with a stand alone unit. buy a Thunder heart Micro harness controller. With the Harley type controls/switches, it will be very easy to wire up. All wires are labeled, comes with a 5 year warranty, company is here in the US and customer support is great to deal with (they actually answer the phones every time, unlike Wire plus) and best part, it's only $300 retail.

Yes, I forgot about the Thunder Heart!
No, I am not supporting the other guys, just remembered someone did mention it here in the Forum before.

I'm just busting on you FrancoYes, I forgot about the Thunder Heart!

but really, they do nothing good for this site other than claim to be better than us.Just keeps everything nice and in one sealed unit. You can wire up relays and circuit breaker/fuses and be ok. But you will need to put all that stuff someplace on the bike that's hidden. You will need a starter relay, headlight relay, fuses for main power wires, and one separate for charging system.

Yes you can buy the momentary box from Thunderheart but it just adds another level of potential failure as well as cost.

Yeah....Franco...what the hell man....:roll::roll::roll:
You guys crack me up with "The other guys". I see it that we are all in this together, to keep our Big Dogs running and reliable, which becomes harder and harder as vendors disappear. Plus the link was NOT even to another forum.
There is so much division in this great country of ours, we certainly don't need to add to it with "the other guys" mentality
If a man is in need of a good solution, we should be able to share with him the options. Wouldn't you want to know ALL of your alternative when you are trying to solve a problem?

Sounds like the same statement I make with the EHC
I don't know what went wrong. I had to replace the ignition control module once and then the switch control module. Wire plus told me the first time to check for voltage on the black/white cable and that of it read 0, then I had a faulty module. So it was replaced only to fail yet again after 1 month. I'm done giving my money away to wire plus and decided to order the ESC from Jeff at dead one customs. I should have it in about 3 weeks.
