Ape install-Can I extend throttle by wire
I am installing 12" outlawz on my roadking. Can I extend the throttle by wire at the molex connector same as the other wires. I was thinking it would work, but it looks like it is to short. Thanks for any help.

Thanks WB. Fat daddy, I thought the problem was only if you cut out the green plug. I was going to leave it alone and splice at the molex plug? I have all the wiring done and ready to put back together except for the tbw. The search button on this forum turns up so much information to sift through, I have read and read so I ask.

Yes you can, I did this to my bike. I removed the connectors and added about 4 inches. I dont think I needed the length but I wanted to get rid of the connectors. I repair wires in european cars all the time so it was easy for me. I made real clean solder connections and covered with heat shrink. I checked resistance in the wires before and after and there was no change.

To me, throttle control is vital to my safety when riding. I used a plug and play tension on the throttle control wires and soldered extensions on the rest of the wires. I just didn't want any trouble with the throttle control. Better safe than sorry.

Yes you can do it that way. What I was saying is I think the proper way would be plug and play. You can do a lot of things with a pipe wrench or a torch but it just might not be the best way. But hey brother your bike do it however you feel,good luck.
