Default cableless throttle

Hi Folks,
Did you or someone you know put a MoCo (or other) cableless throttle on your bike ?
I would like to do the same with my Street Bob.
Thanks

I assume that by "cableless throttle" u mean an internally wired throttle...
there iare no cableless throttles... every single one has to be connected to the throttle body or an electric module that receives the signals from the throttle to the throttle body...

Am I right?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I mean the same one the recent Touring models have, the throttle sends a signal, cableless…
The shape of my ape makes it impossible to use an internal throttle

ok, so what ur looking for is an electronic throttle... that way there is no "cable movement" as in the traditional throttles... but it still needs an electric cable to go through the bars so it can transfer the signal :P

what u would be looking for is a conversion from the regular throttle to the electronic throttle... but I believe this cannot be done on carbed bikes, only on efi and I believe it will require a reprogramming of the ecu to accomodate the signal of the electric throttle and control the injection of gas...
I did a little search and couldn't find any conversions... just conversions from carb to efi but don't know if they are "fly by wire" friendly...

Godd luck with it
