Motorcycles<\/strong> are known for being built with premium parts that deliver the highest performance available anywhere in the American V-Twin class.\u00a0 Like many high-performance machines, the environments in which these parts must survive can be extremely violent.<\/p>\n<p>Big Dog Motorcycles\u2019 Engineering Division developed a special department dedicated entirely to measuring these environments and engineering parts to withstand them. \u00a0 The findings of this Department confirmed what the warranty department was seeing\u2026The service life of the main computer on the 2003-2011 Big Dog Motorcycles is the \u201cweak link\u201d in an otherwise robust chain.<\/p>\n<p>Most Big Dog Owners cringe when they hear the three simple letters: E.H.C.\u00a0 \u201cEHC\u201d stands for \u201cElectronic Harness Controller.\u201d\u00a0 This computer supplies power to all the different systems on the motorcycle.\u00a0 Originally designed by aircraft engineers, the EHC is a magnificent design in theory but the physical application was a different story.<\/p>\n<p>The theory was to produce a computer that uses low-current circuits and internal fuses (known as \u201cfets\u201d) to eliminate much of the bulk associated with the conventional electrical system options at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The EHC computer also employed multiple safety and theft-prevention features that helped protect both the owners of the motorcycles, and the manufacturing company.<\/p>\n<p>The EHC computers were put through many hours and miles of testing before ever being implemented into the production motorcycles for the 2004 model-year.\u00a0 However, nobody can test a motorcycle\u2019s durability like the American Consumer and when the warranty claims started showing an increasing number in EHC failures, Big Dog recognized there was a problem.<\/p>\n<p>After many revisions to the original design without success, Big Dog finally aborted the EHC program for a fuse-and-relay design called the \u201cPDM Kit\u201d short for \u201cPower Distribution Module.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This system was also plagued with failures as it still requires the use of a solid-state computer to allow functionality of the momentary hand control buttons.<\/p>\n<p>A couple other aftermarket wiring companies came and went but only had marginal success because the systems were complicated and required much labor and modification to the bike\u2019s original harnesses.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until a group of Big Dog Factory veterans decided to fix the problem once and for all and developed a lasting solution\u2026Known today as the EHC R.I.P kit.\u00a0 The design strategy was simple:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify what causes the EHCs to fail.<\/li>\n<li>Identify a vendor that has been making motorcycle electrical systems with a proven track record of success.<\/li>\n<li>Simulate and test the new part with those causes identified in #1 above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here are our findings:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What are the primary causes for EHC Failure?\n<ol>\n<li>Shock\uf0e0 Accelerometers measured over 50 Gs within the battery tray environment where the EHC is located.\u00a0 This means the internal parts of the EHC were oscillating so fast they must withstand 50 times their original weight.<\/li>\n<li>Moisture\uf0e0 We found water could easily enter the EHC at its connector and cause catastrophic failure to the unit.<\/li>\n<li>Current\uf0e0 Minor changes in current (amperage) would cause the system to fail.\u00a0 The best way to describe this phenomenon is a water pipe example.\u00a0 Imagine a water pipe that is 100-feet long and has a 1-inch internal diameter.\u00a0 If this pipe springs a small leak (or two) in the middle, the output at the exit- end will definitely be noticeably reduced.\u00a0 Now imagine the same pipe but this time it has a 4-foot inner diameter.\u00a0 If this pipe springs the same-size leak in the middle of the pipe, it will be unnoticeable at the exit-end of the pipe.\u00a0 This is a simplified example of how electrical system faults can happen on a motorcycle.\u00a0 In the EHC\u2019s case, something as simple as a pinched tag light wire can short out the whole system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Identify a vendor\u2014Fortunately, the list of vendors with a successful history of manufacturing computers for V-twin motorcycles is relatively short.\u00a0 The vendor that we came back to time and time again was Thunderheart Performance.\u00a0 This company has the longest and most-successful history of making computers for Harley Davidson\u2019s and custom motorcycles compared to all the others.<\/li>\n<li>Simulate and test the new computer.\u00a0 We tested each computer for the causes listed above and posted videos of them on YouTube to prove the durability of the new system.\n<ol>\n<li>Water Test: We tested the computer for water-resistance by completely submerging the computer underwater.\u00a0 All tests were performed without a single failure.<\/li>\n<li>Shock: We first ran the new computer over with the front tire of a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel truck.\u00a0 The computer came away unscathed.\u00a0 The next test was to drag the computer behind the truck and through some puddles to see if bouncing around on asphalt would damage the internals of the computer.\u00a0 Yet again the computer came away with \u201cbattle wounds\u201d but functioned flawlessly.\u00a0 Next we shot the computer with a shotgun at 50-feet.\u00a0 The first tests were performed with light birdshot and barely dented the computers\u2019 housings.\u00a0 Again, no failures.\u00a0 We wanted to find the true failure point of these computers so we loaded up the 12-gauge shotgun again with full-power loads and were able to completely destroy the computers.\u00a0 To our surprise, when one computer was removed from the destroyed outer-housing it still operated all the systems on the test-motorcycle with the exception of the ignition.\u00a0 We feel these simple tests are far beyond the environments in which the new computer must operate.<\/li>\n<li>Current\uf0e0 The new system uses a much higher current load while still remaining a 12-volt system.\u00a0 This condition can be hard to test so we simply simulated false-grounds throughout the test motorcycles and were unable to cause the computers to fail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As mentioned above, nobody can test a product like the American Consumer.\u00a0 We have been selling this computer system (EHC RIP Kit) for over 3-years and with hundreds of these on the road.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the same system we use on the new 2016 production Big Dog Motorcycles.\u00a0 Not a single computer has failed at the time of this writing.\u00a0 There were some early failures from mis-pinning harnesses at the factory that have caused less than a handful of failures to date.<\/p>\n<p>Mis-pinning failures have since been eliminated by employing a third-party company to test each harness before it ships out the door.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t be fooled by our competitors\u2019 copies and claims.\u00a0 Their only attempt to compete with us is to publish false information and post bad reviews online under fictitious names.\u00a0 I can guarantee they do not have the quality control or even the proper equipment to compete at our level.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t get into the \u201cmudslinging.\u201d\u00a0 We beat our competition the good \u2018ol fashioned way be offering the highest-quality product, fastest lead-time, and unmatched product support.\u00a0 If you are interested in learning more about the EHC RIP Kit, we are available to answer
