Direct wire the headlight?

For those with experience, if I direct wire the headlight tithe battery, how long til the rest of the EHC craps out?:bang:

I've been running like this for about 2 months. But, just got my WP kit and will be re-wiring Labor day weekend.

That's good news for me! Thanks. Planning a rally in mid sept with friends. I don't think I could retire before then.

Hold and Hope

Hard to say exactly... mine was about 6 months from intermittant headlight problem to flat out dead on the road and the long push home, several times in denial, that it just couldn't be my second EHC was bad! --WTF! but it was...

Please see my other threads on full diagnosis fix and wait time for WirePlus.

IMHO, in your position I would ride with caution, within pushing distance of home...
or carry a couple grand cash or credit card to get you outta trouble, towed and/or a room.

One can only hope it is not your EHC intermittantly slowly failing like all the rest...

Not long....Not long at all

Thanks guys, I just need it to last through a weekend. After the rally, I'll have all winter to get the EHC replaced with wire plus or PDM.

I'll take my chances....and a trailer down there.
