Hey Guy's & Gal's! Sorry that I've not been posting too much lately. I've been very, very busy w/ the things going on at Dead One Customs!
- Normal everyday goings on w/ the sale of BDM & AIH parts. 👍
- Of course, we are constantly building the #1 BDM Replacement Electrical System Controller(s). Over 7K built, w/ "0" failures!!! The Dead One Customs ESC Unit! 👍
- We've been helping out a customer in Hawaii w/ an actual Big Dog "Performance UPGRADE"! 👍 (None of that Reduction Front Pulley BS that actually slowes your bike down! 👎) 😂
- We have a sick BDM Bagger in our shop that the EFI & the EHC unit(s) both went on a permanent southern vacation, without the owners permission. 😂 No worries! We at Dead One Customs have built and are in the process of installing an BDM ESC Unit.👍 And due to the fact that S&S Cycles no longer builds, nor supports those EFI units. No worries! We at Dead One Customs are converting this BDM EFI Bagger to a "Carb" system! 👍There will be No More Issues!!!
- We also have a Reserch & Development project going on. Trying to "Customer Friendly" interface our Dead One Customs ESC (Electrical System Controller) into a Big Bear Electrical System! 👍
- And to top off everything else,... I'm also in the process of building a brand new facility. (Building) 👍

So needless to say, I am/we are VERY, VERY BUSY!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 But no worries! If you need anything. Simply give us a call at 804-706-9664, 9-5 ET, M-F. If we don't answer, just leave a message and someone will call you back as soon as possible. Or you can email us at [email protected] Thanks, Jeff : ) 👍

Dead One Customs BDM '05 & Later, RSD (Right Side Drive) "UPDATED" Starters! Dead One Customs, in conjunction w/ Denso, are manufacturing the BEST BDM RSD Starters on the market today! The original BDM RSD Starters, and todays "CHEAP" Asian versions, have a internal seal typical life expediency of +/- 3500 miles or less. The starter will then leak internally and cause an internal motor short. ie: FAILURE! Dead One Customs has UPDATED the seal technology to totally eliminate the internal leak failures. These are the "BEST" BDM Starters on the market today! These starters can be purchased at https://www.deadonecustoms.com/b_dm_electrical_accessories.html or by emailing [email protected] And fyi, we sell the "correct" L*D (Left Side Drive) Starters, as well.

Well, this year is about over and it's almost a new year. And boy has the last year been one for the books. Sadly, there are just SO MANY LIES & SCAMS, these days! And there are So Very Many BDM Bikes getting RUINED! I'm still hearing the same 'ol LIES & SCAMS in the BDM world, and even some "New" SCAMS too! Out of the same 'ol Con Artist, and even a couple of New ones, too!!! And the Drama is at an All Time High, too! I'm pretty sure that the time has come to EXPOSE all of these LIES & SCAMS to the BDM World and the "individuals" behind all of this crap & WHY, for exactly what & who they are. The LIES & SCAMS from the CON ARTIST!!! What are your thoughts on this idea?

We at Dead One Customs have been seeing all kinds of “FALSE & MISLEADING” posts on Facebook, regarding Operational Functionality, Dependability and other MIS-UNDERSTOOD information with the Dead One Customs “ESC Unit” (Electrical System Controller), We would simply like to clear up ALL of this “FALSE & MISLEADING” information ONCE AND FOR ALL

In 2004, BDM, LLC had started experiencing very many electrical failures with the motorcycles that they produced. These electrical failures were the root cause to many accidents, in which many operators were very seriously injured and some were even killed! Over many years of these electrical failures and the inability of BDM, LLC to correctly identify, locate and rectify the actual electrical problem(s); BDM, LLC was constantly dealing w/ accident and damage lawsuits, prior to their going out of business in 2010/2011.

In 2007, Dead One Customs was the “FIRST” to properly and fully identify the actual electrical fault(s) in the BDM electrical system and develop the “ONLY” bulletproof remedy for the infamous BDM Headlight Failure issue. We at Dead One Customs have seen where others in today’s world have tried to COPY our remedies in this area. SADLY, due to cost saving modifications and their lack of factual electrical knowledge, their remedy kits will fail, as well. So use caution!

In 2008, the Dead One Customs “ESC Unit” (Electrical System Controller) was the “SECOND” BDM replacement controller system to be introduced on the market. It was primarily designed as a TOTAL & PERMANENT RESOLUTION to ALL of the electrical faults/failures within the BDM Electrical System. It was the “FIRST” to be “100% Plug-N-Play”! The ESC Unit was “Far Superior” to its predecessor, the Wire-Plus System, a hard wired installation.
Dead One Customs was also the “FIRST” to identify other electrical defective design flaw(s) causing electrical failures within the BDM Electrical System. Dead One Customs has been the ONLY aftermarket replacement controller system to develop proper remedies to fully resolve ALL of these electrical failure issue(s) that BDM, LLC could not figure out. The Dead One Customs “ESC Unit” (Electrical System Controller) definitely resolves all issues.
The “ESC Unit” can easily replace the BDM EHC, the BDM PDM/HCI, and ANY/ALL of the other aftermarket controller systems which are also very prone to electrical failures. Ie: The Wire Plus unit, the RIP/RIP2 and Elektronic Box (German version EHC).

The “ESC Unit” replacement controllers are “custom built in house” by Dead One Customs, per customer request for ALL BDM applications.

All Dead One Customs “ESC Units” incorporate the following features:
- The “ESC Units” are built using the most up-to-date electronic design methods and products.
- The “ESC Unit” replacement controller system was the first to PROPERLY interface, “Plug-N-Play”, with all of the BDM models, including the BDM EFI models!
- The “ESC Unit” is the “only” replacement system built to resolve ALL of the inherent BDM factory electronic/electrical design flaws causing electrical failure issues. (Electrical Gremlins)
- The “ESC Unit” is built to meet or exceed the requirements for every year and model BDM produced.
- The “ESC Unit” is built to meet or exceed the requirements for EVERY Euro version BDM produced.
- The “ESC Unit” is built to meet or exceed the requirements for EVERY factory option BDM offered.
- The “ESC Unit” is the “ONLY” replacement controller system which will support the BDM factory Air Ride operating controls via the factory hand controls.
- The “ESC Unit” is the “ONLY” replacement system which can offer an “all internal” Battery/Charging system Fault Light. This option is proprietary to Dead One Customs.
- All “ESC Units” are the “ONLY” replacement controller system that are completely and thoroughly tested for proper operation many times during the build process and once again after completion, prior to shipment.

All “ESC Units” come with written instructions and pictures to ensure ease of installation. Dead One Customs offers phone support Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5Pm EST. 804-706-9664
All “ESC Units” are supported with a 1 Year Warranty against manufacture defects.
Dead One Customs has built over “7000” ESC Units, worldwide, with a “ZERO” failure rate!

Many of the other aftermarket systems have tried to imitate the “ESC Unit” …but “NONE” have been able to duplicate the “ESC Units” Factory Operational Functionality, Performance Dependability and/or Durability.

Our devotion to “Perfection” is what makes the Dead One Customs ESC Units “BULLETPROOF” and the #1 most recommended BDM replacement controller system on the market!

For ordering information please email at [email protected] or give us a call at 804-706-9664, M-F, 9-5 ET.
Respectfully,
Jeff Moore, Owner of Dead One Customs

We are attaching just a sample of our customer reviews:

- Badyellowvette:
“After searching for an electrical problem on my K9 my ECH started smoking I decided to go with a new ESC unit. I first pulled out the screwed up BDM wiring harness and controller.
Installed the ESC unit in the same location as stock ECH. Plugged all connectors with dielectric grease. All wires with the new branch harnesses are labeled. A complete full colored wire diagram show what function each plug goes to, very simple.
Ran main harness through the backbone and plugged in all branch circuit connections with a dab of dielectric grease. The ESC comes with a completely new braided steel headlight wire with ceramic plug. It gets rid of that three feet of coiled up wire in the 08 K9 headlight bucket.
Used the included zip ties to bundle up the wire harness.
Zip tied the backbone harness and wrapped it up in the under tank cover on the backbone.
All stock functions work perfect. I did go with the electrical system monitor also. I haven't even had the dreaded starter clunk since.”

- Badyellowvette:
“So far I have not had the starter clunk, past three days been riding a lot. Everything is working great. Bike is running better than ever.”
- Ker:
“I went with DOC's 6- 7 years ago and its totally worth it, the RIP 2 still uses the desk top connector and does not address the head light wiring issue. And the way the wiring harness is prepared is far better than the RIP. One of the moderators on the failing forum installed both the Rip and DOC's units and he told me DOC's quality is far beyond the RIP. Not to mention DOC's customer service is outstanding.”

- DrRx:
“Installed another Dead One Customs ESC unit on my second big dog and wouldn't get anything else. It's hand made to fit the specific bike. Battery charging monitoring system. Runs my air ride suspension. A true plug in play system. No splicing at all. Waterproof and worth every minute and penny took to install it. Any problem and Jeff who makes it walks you thru any issue till it's taken care of. Great product and great live support from Dead One Customs.”

- DrRx:
“Dead One Customs ESC Unit is bullet proof and do get the charging indicator option. It will save your ass and worth it. Low charging system and overcharging system it will let you know. Told me my VR was going out before it completely went out.”

- Barnes Performance Cycles:
“Today I received and installed this nice new Dead One Customs ESC electrical harness controller into the 2007 Bulldog EFI. I must say that this by far is the nicest controller on the market. With being the easiest to install, a TRUE plug and play, very clear directions along with everything being clearly marked, the construction of the unit and harness is beautifully done with very little electrical tape used (A+ in my book) Absolutely no comparison between this unit and the KMW RIP kit. The Dead One Customs kit is hands down the way to go.”

- Tracy H. W.:
“DOC IS THE BEST spend the extra!”

- Michael M.:
“I do know that the EHC #58 module from WSW did/does have an issue. Axel was trying to figure out what was failing last I heard. Pretty sure something was failing when the starting cycle was initiated. I would say go with Jeff @ DOC for plug/play ehc. Worth every penny!!”

Hello, my name is Jeff Moore, and I am the owner of Dead One Customs.

I have been receiving calls, texts and emails as well as seeing posts on Facebook, regarding issues with “ESC Unit” (Electrical System Controller) developed and manufactured by Dead One Customs.

1. Dead One Customs for years has, and still is, manufacturing the #1 MOST recommended, #1 MOST dependable and BEST selling BDM replacement controller system on the market. The “ESC Unit”.
2. The “ESC Unit” replaces the BDM EHC, the BDM PDM/HCI, the Thunderheart EHC, the Wire Plus unit, the RIP/RIP2 and Elektronic Box(German version EHC).

A. The “ESC Units” are manufactured using the most up-to-date electronic design methods and products.
B. The “ESC Unit” replacement controller system was the "FIRST" to properly Plug-N-Play interface with all of the BDM models, including the BDM EFI models!
C. The “ESC Unit” replacement controller system is the “ONLY” replacement system manufactured that includes a "NEW" & UPGRADED Backbone Harness & Main Power Harness to resolve ALL of the inherent BDM factory electronic/electrical design flaws & failure issues within the OEM Harnesses. (Electrical Gremlins)
D. The “ESC Unit” replacement controller system is manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements for every year and model BDM produced.
