Cable Throttle => Throttle by Wire
I originally posted this in the Dyna section where I live but thought I'd get more eyes out here. I don't want a debate which is better or questions about why I'm "stupid" so you guys can save your hateraid for someone else.
I have RA everywhere, but I am very blessed to be almost completely controlled with meds; however, the times that my shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, whatever could use a quick break are happening more frequently while I ride. While having a beer in the shop and admiring the bike last night I got to thinking about throttle by wire again. I pulled out the parts book and the shop manual while I sipped and listened to Ella Langley and here's what I found.
By way of simple comparison, a 2017 FXDLS has different numbers for the following parts:

By way of simple comparison, a 2017 FXDLS has different numbers for the following parts:
- ECM 41000057 | $700
- Wiring harness 39201569A | $400
- Throttle control 32700050 and tube 65100075 | $165
- Left lower switch housing (cruise control) 71500282 and switch 71500290 | $100
- Induction module 22200002 (I'll need an alternative since I'm running an HPI 58/62 setup)

^^^ That read "what's the question" ^^^
UM, I see 2.
From what I can tell, the ECM has 3 ports instead of 2, the third takes the feed from the throttle control and feeds it back to the induction module and done. Can it be that simple? I do not see any additional speed sensors beyond what my FXDB has, not counting the ABS sensors. Does anyone have any REAL knowledge on the topic?
