Default Heated Grip install (avon) for Fly by wire ???

Hi everyone, I am newer to the forum and am installing Avon heated air cushion grips to my 16 FLSS with fly by wire. My dilemma is that the Avon video says you just plug in the 2 pin connector on the end of the throttle side, but the paper instructions say to totally remove the throttle assembly wires to splice in a red and black wire... has anyone installed a non Harley pair of heated grips and can tell me what I need to do with the throttle side? my service manual does not show how to remove the assembly, and I don't want to risk breaking something if I don't really need to remove. it.
sorry so long winded, I can put pics up if that would help.


thanks for your help!!


Brandi

Hey,

Dunno if it applies, but if anyone has problems with this on newer soft tails. You can just cut the 2 pin (white/black) connector off the end of the TGS, and splice the extension into that (or just attach it to the controller if you don't need the extra wire.)
Tested this with a multimeter before I did it, and it did the trick.
