Review on 🔌 Flexible Stranded Silicone Cable for Electrical Electronics Optimization by Robert Pearson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Because it's so close to the engine and exhaust, I'm surprised it holds up BIG!

Warning, spoilers: This wire is great! The following novel is how I came to this conclusion. My boyfriend and I installed a Motogadget M-Unit Blue on his 1999 Harley Davidson Fatboy. Since we worked together on many projects, I realized that we just don't work well together. Two totally opposite approaches: He's the guy who does just enough to make it work. Anything and everything (even following directions) is a waste of time and he won't waste time. I like it when my job is hard enough that I never have to come back to fix it. If you don't demonstrate it, you definitely don't have to think/worry again until you decide to upgrade (rather than upgrading something because it doesn't work). Needless to say, we don't work very well together. We both did something like this for the first time. Of course I wanted to follow the instructions, have a plan and a solid schematic, all BEFORE we got started. Well, he hasn't even seen video of a guy (who hasn't even installed it on a motorcycle) and is ready to begin our installation with no plan, schematic or hesitation. I said what I had let's say offered him help if he was interested in getting it right the first time because I don't waste time and money on extra parts etc. He continued because he (wanted) to ride it the next day (I don't even remember where). Lol I put my hands up and decided to sit down. Several months passed before I agreed to help. What I encountered was not the nice, clean facility that he presented to me when making the expensive purchase. The cables that came with the M-Unit were probably quite long when they arrived, but it was obvious that they were cut without planning where the cable should or could be run. I've tried to sketch the current situation so that my efforts are as close as possible to the diagram I made a few days after he started the project. Let me just say I did what I could with what I had to work with. After spending a few weeks looking for wiring (which I should have replaced at the time, but he wouldn't be happy that I wasted so much time) he buys a speedometer and a combination of LED taillights and turn signals, a stator , a rotor, voltage regulator and battery. . I also suggested battery cables. He refused for another two months, but finally got them. I originally bought this 22 gauge wire to clean up the mess. Eventually the friend found it but only used a 10-12 inch length to fix the oil sensor wire, WITHOUT protecting the wire with a loom, he just wrapped the solder joint like an inch of duct tape. wm. Because it's so close to the engine and exhaust I'm surprised (in fact I'm blown away) that it holds up GREAT! motorcycle), I RECOMMEND this wire mainly because it can withstand the heat of Harley Davidson! It's also very flexible and rotates well when needed. I will continue to completely rebuild the wheel with this wire when we change the motor (before the end of the year).

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
