OK.. so you're getting ready to wire up your bike. Most of us will find that we actually need some wire to accomplish that task. So we start looking and find something cheap on eBay. Job done. Or so you thought. After a season of riding you find that half your wires are melted. What gives?
Turns out you made the same mistake a lot of us do. Not all wire is created equal. You probably were the recipient of primary hookup wire meant for audio applications. It doesn't have the same level of heat resistance, may actually be copper clad aluminum (not solid copper), and in many cases the wire isn't actually as thick as was advertised.
Tired of getting burned (literally)? We now have the good stuff available for the home mechanic. Manufactured in the USA from 100% copper wire, this GXL automotive wire meets Ford Standard M1L-85B, Chrysler Standard MS-5919, and SAE J1128. Good for temperature ranges from -60°F to 257°F, so no more melted harnesses from it getting too close to the engine.
Available in 14 gauge and 18 gauge in most Honda colors (other colors coming soon, PM me if you need something specific). Pre-cut five foot sections of wire are $2.00 each with 14 gauge thickness only fifty cents more. And, as always, shipping is free in the USA for orders of $20 or more.
