TBW Wiring Question

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the great advice on this forum I have started the internal wiring of my news bars. I have a question on the TBW harness:

Do I need to keep the black connection (heated grips?) or can I separate and just try and run the green plug back through the bars? I am VERY tight on space right now and cannot see myself getting them both through.

I have never used heated grips and would not spend the money for them realistically, so I am hoping others can chime in...if I do not connect the black will anything bad happen?

Thanks for the help!

No need for black connector unless want heated grips. On my bike it's was only exteneded about 8" in lenght from throttle sensor and shrink wrapped on ends.

Save yourself some grief and cut out the green plug

Looks like I have no choice on the plug but to cut it out. Won't fit into my 2+2 sweepers...gave it a tug and it broke.

Dam& green plug!

By the way, the hole cut into the 2+2 is nowhere big enough for complete pins. Bare wires yes, pins no. Had to dremel it out to get the wires in.
