2004 AWG Bulldog

[Savage 1]

20 and 22 AWG seems mighty thin for a wiring harness.

Does the new RIP and WP kits come with a thicker guage wire?

Many of the bikes I've repaired contained at least 16 AWG.

I'd like to hear some feedback from the experts on this subject.

I have to admit, I have not figured out the current draw for every circuit or component. The wiring simply seemed a bit thin while I was making seemingly endless electrical repairs on my 2004 Bulldog.

Thanks in advance for sharing....

Agree with you 100% 18 gage should be minimal. These bikes have very low current on all inputs. The load does not run through the switch. Instead they only take 5 vdc to ground, this changes the input to the EHC. Only the outputs have any real current. Headlight and starter mainly.
