Default Throttle Adjustment

I was wondering if anyone could give me a play by play on how to adjust the throttle on an 06 ultra. Too much freeplay on the grip. Any help would be great.

Peel back the rubber boot on the throttle cables, loosen the retaining nut and screw the adjusters until the slack is where you like it. There should be a little slack, not completely tight.
