We just filed patents on two tools that tell exactly where short-causing connections are. They work in cycles, cars and boats.

The more impressive tool lets you actually see the location of the bad connection on a screen. We call that tool "Expose Your Shorts."

The other tool is for locating intermittent shorts. You hook our tool up to the funky circuit and start flexing its bundle of wires. The tool has a buzzer that turns on and off when a short connects or disconnects.

When you flex the shorted location, the tool lets you know. We call this tool "Flex Your Shorts."

We are setting up visits to the big 5 major tool makers in Wisconsin and Ohio. 😊

Expert Cycle Electrics is getting some national attention these days. Phil Ward of Santa Barbera CA is bringing his 1100 Honda here for us to fix tomorrow.

It seems Phil liked the advice I gave him by phone so he decided to have me make the fixes I recommended.

Oops, now I have to live up to what I said!!

Honda dealers are "Totaling" motorcycles they can't fix!

Two bikes in the last month were "totaled" by SLC area Honda dealers who could not fix some simple electrical issues. One customer said the dealer charged$243 for their testing, find a burnt connector going to the rectifier. The dealer said the entire wiring harness needed to be replaced, but Honda no longer made harnesses for a 2001 650, and since eBay did not have one, the customer would have to total the bike. Also the rectifier was blown.

The owner was referred to us by Wright's cycle. We opened our boxes of connectors and rectifiers, and had it running in 2 hours for not much more than the dealer charged for an estimate.

We upgraded the rectifier, since Honda tends to use weak ones (I learned while working at Honda's US headquarters).

Last and not least, we identified what had burned out the connector and rectifier. The previous owner had installed LED under-lights but ran their wires, with no fuses, between the frame and seat, causing the wires to ground through until they shorted out. Check out the pictures for these issues.

I can fix the older bikes almost blindfolded, cause I grew up with them.

Call us for a second opinion when a Dealer can't, or won't fix your bike.

Cycle Dealers "Total" bikes they can't fix, like this Honda Shadow (FB wont let me add its picture to this post). It runs fine but the battery keeps going dead. The Honda dealer's tech said they would have to replace the harness, but none were available new or on eBay, so the bike will have to be totaled.
It had a bad connector and a new rectifier.
We replaced the bad connector and connected it to a new rectifier and everything works, even better than it did new, because we upgraded the regulator.
Remember that dealers say "no" with their price of repair, or just admit that they do not how to fix electrics. Call us when this happens to you.
