Fluke Corp. Checks Chopper Wiring

When bikers want one-of-a-kind cycles with hand-built frames, elements like wiring harnesses must also be customized. Wiring is already a weak point for many bikes, so when Finch Customs is building its unique frames, like the Double Cross featured in the Discovery Channel’s “Biker Build-Off,” making sure wiring is not an issue is a key design parameter. Ron Finch and his co-designer, called Screwy, check wires hidden inside the frame using Fluke Corp.’s 88V, which features a beeper to signal continuity. The DMM helps the team understand the impact of using LEDs and incandescent bulbs, which have dramatically different current and resistance levels.
