Bought the Wire+ for my 04 Chopper

Night Train · Mar 3, 2009

I have some at work but need them there, if you do not find any other offers you can send me your harness/terminals and I can crimp them and send it back to ya. Send me a PM if you need my help and we can discuss the details. :cheers:

Do you have a close up pic of what you're wanting to crimp? Looking at the pic of the pins in thread about removing your EHC from what I can tell a Molex style crimper would do the job just fine and run you about $20. Even if that's not the case you can get a decent crimper for most styles for a lot less than $400...

Afterall, it's not an aircraft!

My dog is trying to crap a 3rd EHC turd so I bought the wire+. We really need to have long and dependable rides. Thanks Jake!

Gonna have some fun. Probably get er done over the next two weeks, a little at a time.

Anybody have a way to crimp the formed deutsch sockets, not the stamped socket with the two tabs? The good crimper costs up to $400! I've had crimped connections fail before so I‘ll probably use my regular crimper and a dab of solder.

Still gotta buy some stuff for a clean install- braided sleeves, mini deutsch connector for the ignition switch, etc.

Will get some pics going after I get it on the rack. :up: How’s your bike comin’ Alhall?

Hey does anyone have a pic under the seat of an 04 chopper after the wire + install?

Mine is working fine although I have not taken it out for a ride, everything works. Its a tight fit for the fender pocket but it works.Follow the 2004 ehc thread and see a couple other pics.

This crimper works pretty good for those pins. I used the actual Deutsch tool for my bike, but did a couple other pins for my ignition switch with this tool. Worked great:

Nighttrain: Dude- compliments on your generosity but I'd have to remove the bulk of the harness to get it to you. I'd rather crimp the connectors as I pull them one by one from the EHC. Thanks though

DRB: The socket looks like this. It's what wire+ gives you through Jake's website. Just thought someone might have a decent crimper to recommend for these that don't cost an arm and leg.

Al! How goes it? You sent me that software awhile back. As you know it was useless for changing stuff. I gotta change that ignition module, maybe next year a Dyna 2000. I've been following Jake's thread on the 2004 EHC. Your install under the seat looks pretty clean that pic was what i needed. Hope mine turns out as well. Keep ya posted. Thanks.

You are going to have the coil assembly off and really this would be the time to do the ignition change. Just thinking....

this ultima ignition is basically a dynatek 2KI. pretty sure its made by dynatek for ultima. i have the 2KI and basically cut out the TH and wired it in.

I don't know anything about the Crane model although the future seems grim for that company.

On the other hand I've had a Dyna single fire system on my Harley since 1994 and it's been flawless! :2thumbs:

MARV · Mar 6, 2009

being you have an 04 it should have a cam sensor. open the timing cover to check. if yes then match up the wire diagram in the link i posted to your BD wire diagram in your service manual.

done deal. :up:

No performance difference with a single or dual fire ignition. I run a Dyna 2K also.

stlmikie · Mar 6, 2009

I gots the dyna single. It's kewl.

alhall88 · Mar 7, 2009

I would go with the dynatech, and just put it in the nosecone where your stock unit is. Pick up a single fire coil at the same time. That way since you'll have everything down it will be an easy switch.

Slider said:
I'll do the Dyna 2ki but I'll use a single coil single fire to keep it the mounting simpler.

Actually, if you use just one coil you'll still have a dual-fire ignition. You need a second coil if you want a single fire ignition unless the coil you use has single fire capabilities...

Hey DR, As MARV says, your bike is single fire and you only have one coil.
Just need a three lead coil vice two connections.
