I might just have to give this another go. On my 10 there were a ton of wires on each side... I cut out the connector and soldered the wires instead of going with the cvo green connector.

thanks for the info.

I can see why you have them. I just realized you're in Batavia. I have family around there. It's COLD!

The CVO TBW eliminates the green connector altogether. You just have to run the wires and insert the pins into the housing when they're through. Unless youre doing it on a 14-up, then you have to repin it with sockets and swap the male connector out to female (or visa versa)

I don't have the heated grips, but sometimes I wish I did!

I guess so. All I can say is that "house shaped" plug is only used on the hearted grip wires in my Limited.
