Default Less traction control

Anyone have any contacts that could help lessen the intrusion of the traction control, I like to use the throttle to rear steer to help with corner speed on the street glide and when the traction control cuts in even before getting to the corner apex it makes the far side of the corner "interesting", I'd like to be able to "play " with the amount of rear wheel slip allowed before the traction control cutting in.

Just shut it off. You cannot turn off the RDRD but traction control you can. If TC light is on all the time it is in disable mode, Page 124 2020 Touring Owner Manual.

Default I'm Delusional

No really I'd just like to be able to let the rear turn a bit before the electronics says "no more fun". Even rough road on the throttle will cut power and in my view it takes too long to re-establish drive. The electronics can do what I want but I'm guessing the software and code will never be released to the tuning world.

it is all about big brother protecting the less smart people.
back when, a 1.5hp lawn mower would walk through anything but today the mower has 10# + safety devises and 5hp just to get the same work done. forest gump said it all: "YOU CANNOT FIX STUPID"!!!

Does anyone know if, by turning off TC, it completely disable the TC?
Some car, etc do not completely disregard any hotrodding causing differential front to rear wheel speed.
Let us know if you can cause rear wheel slip without intrusion of any kind.
Thanks,
Bob

I wonder how it would work if you just disconnected the rear wheel abs sensor....?
