    M&H has, BY FAR, the best after sales support.

    OPG does not make these. They buy these from companies like M and H. Lectric Limited also sells some M and H made stuff.


    YO also sells or did sell M and H.

    I have always had very prompt service from American Autowire and found their harnesses to be top notch. M + H fine as well but go with who has to ship first. I will be using the nice engine and forward lamp harnesses I got from them. Only issue I had with them was they used clear plastic connectors on the headlight plugs and originals were brown. They are very easy to swap over anyway. I bet M + H uses the same clear ones too.

    M&H is the way to go.. They were a big help with my GS. The technical help was good.

    If you have an issue with M&H, they will stay on the phone and help you, or call you back with an answer.

    American Autowire will be give you a short, curt, "don't bother me answer"

    And, M&H will customize any harness as well.

    They are #1 in my book.

    I got home from vacation today and it was here.They did have to customize it a little.(70 HEI engine in a 68)
    I'm confidant it will be fine with all the good recommendations.

    M&H called me yesterday- the harnesss is in the shop being made. I originally spec'd it to have leads built in for MSD box. It will be built with 3' feet of 12V bat (RED 10GA) and 12V ign (pink 14 GA) switch power leads and the charge light wire (brown for volt reg) has spade male and female connectors about two inches down to jump in the 100v 1a diode. I will update when it arrives.
