Default TBW Green plug Q



Hey Guys, Trying to get my new bars on...If it can happen it always does to me. Been trying to get these wires through all night. Now I have this mess and the colors don't match up. Any help? Any tricks to get the "mass" of wires through the throttle side? Many thanks guys!

Cut the green plug and solder the wires together.

Same thing happened to me. The grey rubber sleeve on the left harness in your pic has a flat side to it. Just slide it back all together into the green connector so that you can see how it lines up with wires on the other side. Then cut and solder one at a time and get rid of the green connector all together

What damage? They all are different lengths and going to be a pain to look "nice" going into the connector, but besides that, I dont see any damage. Unless I cant tell of course....

P.S. Stealership stocks them. $ 0.94 each.

After cutting soldering and shrink wrap I but the entire TBW assy wires in a separate shrink wrap bunder so I ended up with 2 shrink wrapped bundles on right side one for control wires and one for TBW assy wires.
