The reduction is time is the result of removing the stock Big Dog wiring harness and sending it to Wire Plus for them to do the work. Once Wire Plus receives the loom, it will visually inspect each individual wire, eliminate the printer style connectors that are exclusive to Big Dog, put on www.AMDchampionship.com new waterproof Deutsch connectors to make the harness ‘plug and play’ ready for the Wire Plus EHC Retrofit Kit modules, and then bench-test it before returning it. The harness is then re-installed and connected to an EHC retrofit kit module.
