Sounds like the case!

$275? I thought Derrick and Donna had a line on these and they prices were coming down. I picked up a few spares along the way for when they go out. Always keep my eye out for good deals :)

Glad you got it fixed up!

Prices just seem to keep going up not down.

They are going to price themselves out of business if this keeps up.

They are just switches guys. The controls, master, levers bars etc. are super nice and don't have to be replaced.

The only issue I have with that Bill is I love how the stock bars feel. If someone could fabricate some Harley controls to work on our stock bars....that would seal the deal for me.

I know your right Bill but I gotta agree with Tyler on this one, I love the feel and look of the Big dog controls and bars, I think somebody that had the bike before used graphite lube or something like that and it was all over up in the pcb so i think it shorted it out somehow.

I have a set of Chubby bars 1 1/4 inches that fit Harley controls and are the exact shape as the stock BD bars execpt they come back 2" further. I was going to use them on my bike but went a different way.

I know the BD controls look great but as we all know they don't last, the ECH doesn't last and both are very expensive to replace. I love my BD bike now that I don't have to worry about an electrical problem and can just ride it. To each his own but all these problems/time & money just doesn't make sense. As time goes on these parts will become more and more expensive and harder to find. It's almost like Orange County choppers where they build beautiful bikes you can't ride. I think we all bought these bikes for their beauty and we just want to ride them. What is the first thing a car rebuilder does? Change the flathead motor to a new one, put in a newer trans and change the 6 volt to 12v. Why? Because it just makes sense... If you want beautiful Harley controls they are out there but they are not cheap but they are way more reliable. In the 8 months since I redid my bike old school I haven't had one problem and I don't expect any. My 2 cents...

Well, I have been doing all the final placement of the wires and all the shrink tubing on all JST connectors, so far this is what it looks like, Oh and my 40 amp re-settable breaker took a crap on me so I found this bad boy at a local boat parts supplier, had to mover some stuff around but I think it works well!

Damn dude, that's one of the nicest looking wiring jobs I've seen on this site since I've been here! ;) Although I'm not too crazy about the sharp 180 in this braided wire...


Kudos to you!!! :old2:

Thanks Dennis,:cheers: When I bent any of the wires I used a heat gun to soften them so they bent easy, did not force anything in place! That braided wire is for the transmission sensor and I have no idea why it's braided, you can't see it anyway, kind of a waste.
