Okay Gentlemen!
After a long cold winter, and ape hanger upgrade, she finally started. SHES ALIVE RIGHT!? Wrong, give her some throttle and i get very little, mind you its a 2008 RKC with TBW. Obviously something didn't go right with my throttle. Next question is it a solder joint, or could it be the whole TBW? I seen 18in extenders for throttle by wire on ebay, just plug and run. Curious if i should take that route and get the cvo TBW Sensor..? Thanks yall

I heard alot that soldering the TBW makes it unable to use. But apparently that isnt true

Definitely TBW issue. I soldered mine and would get an occasional issue with partial throttle. Had to redo the wiring, what a pain in the ***.

I just finished my handle bar install yesterday. I cut the green plug off, mechanic twist the wires, soldered, shrink wrapped, then electrical tape. I was only able to get in a short ride when it was complete, but so far, all is well.

Not a big deal to me, whatever gets it done right.
