Which EHC Replacement (new version)

[KaptinAmerika]

Thanks Pauly for the link. Would have been real useful if RIP came with that for instructions instead of 1/2 page and 6 pictures. Was almost ready to use mine for target practice.

X10 I didn't even see this before and haven't had time to go looking for it.
Thanks Pauly

Just finished installing the Rip kit for a 2008 K9 Efi bike that i bought from Curtis. Had a few questions for Curtis before and while installing and he replied back as fast as i sent him the questions it seemed. Amazing person and a Great company!! Even spoke to Matt who owns KMW and makes the kit he was extremely helpful. The kit is really simple to install and it is a real plug and play just take your time and you will not have a problem the hardest part is just running the harness through the back bone. Great product and great service by all.

I missed the m-unit, it works also very good

No, however the R.I.P. kit can be ordered with the air ride integrated as follows:
The Hi beam button becomes the headlight control entirely. Pressing the Hi beam button changes the headlight between Hi and Lo and back to Hi. That leaves the Lo beam button available to depressurize the air ride. On the right hand control the Run button becomes both the Run and Off function which leaves the Off button to pressurize the air ride. Both operate in real time so there is no toying around trying to get the bike into "Air Ride Mode".

When did this air ride option become available. Mine came with a toggle switch for air ride control

The air ride was added maybe a few weeks ago.

I'm a die hard BD fan so any recommendations of Harleyizing our BDs gets under my skin.
Sorry its just the way I am.
In addition I am growing weary of the fear mongering being done to Big Dogs.
Yes BD in its original form is gone but BD in its current form is still alive and well.
There are a number of vendors working very hard to keep BDs rolling and there is talk of BD rising again.
My endeavor is to keep BD alive in spirit and body. I am an avid believer in the general direction they were going with modernizing the custom bike and I intend to continue in that direction as do a number of others. This being a BD forum I do get weary of those who come here and try to convince people that UnBigDogging their Big Dog is the way to go.
I do agree with you that a lot of money was thrown away by a lot of people due to poor design work earlier on. But I think those issues have been resolved now. For example with the new RIP kit yes there is the possibility of the module going out down the road. However, with the RIP kit being non-proprietary the end owner can simply order a new module disconnect the one in there now and connect the new one and be down the road. The replacement module for the RIP kit is relatively low cost compared to the module costs of other systems.
In the end if an individual wants to hack their BD and go with an old school system it is certainly their choice but I will never recommend that to anyone as I believe the newer kits are cleaner and more reliable overall.

X10!!!! Well said Kaptin!:2thumbs:

What do you guys think about the Wild Steed Worx EHC replacement? Anyone have any experience with this?

I have the M-Unit in my 2004 Chopper. So far so good.

If your wiring is ok and it ends up being a EHC problem, then yes the replacement one that WSW sells is very good.
Many of us have it. I've not heard of any problems.

Put one in the 04 pit when the wires plus went tits up. Perfect.

I have one in my parts stores in anticipation of needing it sometime. Figured it better to get one while the getting was good.

I am no mechanic and haven’t had to replace an EHC yet. My thought is the less I fiddle with things that aren’t broken the less I will break I replaced all my handle bar controls due to intermittent issues. My mechanic added larger gauge wire as we were seeing heat damage on the connectors. Gauge was too light for the starter circuit.

My research on EHCs is limited to the forum.

A recommendation here was the Joost Elektronic EHC. Did not see this above It is a plug and play according to those in the know and the web site:

That's the Axle unit that the Kaptin sells. (WSW) I've installed a half dozen of them in bikes around here. Love them.
As a matter of fact, Gabe, who started this thread way back in 2014, is now running this unit.

I appreciate all of the support with this, but accept my apologies with my ignorance.
who is the Kaptan? Is he, wildsteedworx? Or does he just offer the same module that they do? Been a member only a short moment and playing catch up.

If you buy the unit from wildsteedworx, wait to take off your old unit until the new unit comes in. Look at it and only unplug or unbolt the wires that the new unit has. Once the new unit is installed hook up positive side of battery first, then negative. It only takes about an hour to do. I always zip tie the wires that go to positive side of battery and then the negative side. I had one fall down behind battery and was lost until I took battery back out and found it. The horn was hardest for me to hook up its tight in there. It’s a no brained for which unit I would go with. If you have a Samsung phone you can do a remote start check battery voltage and some other stuff. It’s a pretty cool unit.
