Great video! Wiring up using the FX style ignition switch is great. Can you shed a little light if using the stock ignition switch for a 1967 FLH. Terminal #1 is the switched 12V, can you use Terminal #5 to complete the m-Lock? My ignition switch has 5 terminals, and only two are needed. What its your take on this. Thank you
Liked-Subscribed (burnt wires on Harley FXR Lithium battery fried everything,even tried a lithium reg from Ricks and that fried my stator)...jeez Why did you put the 2 tail light wires together???? No need for brake switch??? CONFUSED
The brake light bulb is voltage sensitive. Bikes not equipped with an m-unit have 2 effective power wires. One is key on power, so that your brake light is always illuminated while the power is on. The second wire is switched power, just like a light switch. When you pull the brake lever it’s like turning on a light switch and now you have double the voltage which illuminates the second element in the brake light, making it brighter. This is achieved in the m-unit using a circuit board and (I/o logic?) essentially it’s programmed to send the proper voltage to the tail light to either illuminate the running light or the running light AND the brake light. This wouldn’t work on a bike without an m-unit as you would have only 1 12v circuit and the light would never “see” a difference to illuminate the brake light. I hope this helps.

Very helpful.. first time learning about the M-Unit, and I see why you use it💪🏽 she’s a beast..
Great video nice and easy plain and simple just like it's supposed to be THANKS MUCH PAUL TAV SEMPER FI STAY SAFE.
Great post, I am doing up a 1991 Yamaha XJ600, be a while yet till I get to the wiring but I am going to use this system looks great.
dope work my guy , makes it look soo easy
So this is an m unit promotion video not a motorcycling wiring video
And the m-unit costs more than the engine I'm trying to wire.

Well it is sponsored by J&P Cycle...
Nice you make looks pretty easy

Y’all never did a follow up on the street rod 750. I have that bike and did a stage one. It’s super underrated ppl love it
Isn’t the negative from the m-unit to battery redundant? Doesn’t it get it’s ground from the frame?
Great video. Will these instructions apply to a 1972 Honda CB350?
This bike is amazing!
Got a m unit for my 01 fxd before I get into I need more info on how to wire in the stock hand controls with it!!!
Wish J&P would answer the questions in the comments to clear up any confusion and it would complete this tutorial.
Hey buddy, got a light for my smoke? Sure, here....aagh my eyebrows! kidding, wiring looks clean and fresh though.
Dang is that an FXR frame? I'd like to across one of them.
Buy mine 19
93 FXLR
Start to finish,, how long did it take you to wire the bike?
Can you run a twintec ignition module with this??
Are you using diff size wires
.
Can u use the m unit on any motorcycle were do u get it
What is the fault that makes plug wire to fire only ones and stop firing

Thank You ...
What year and kind of Harley is this?
Think I'd be off if i guessed.
Couldnt tell you the exact year but its an FXR with an s&s crate motor.
Magnifico!
is there any tutorials where you don't use the m-unit?
Its just a fancy fuse block
Wiring Diagram??
Hmmm. Thinking a heat fun or hair dryer might be safer ...
I thought the crack lighter really tied the video together, making it both fun and educational 😂
Doesn’t let you know which is positive or negative, needs some theory!
found some for $199 but their wholesale grr
