08's
 
I heard through a reliable source that the 08's coming out of York will have ABS and throttle by wire.

I heard all water cooled and Metric. j/k

I wonder what would be involved in retrofitting a older model with ABS?

A lot more electrical for one.

Throttle-by-Wire was confirmed for me last week by a HD General Manager of a large dealership near me.

What advatange does "throttle by wire" have over cable outside of a having no cable to adjust or break? Can't the "wire" break? My F-16 is "fly by wire", not "throttle by wire", so I'm confused. :D:D

how is throttle by wire different than what we currently have?

it's all done through electric and motors. All the new cars have had it for years. No cables.

RE: 08's
 
do other motorcycle companies have throttle by wire already?

Some say, there is a lag in response? I had it in my 2005 Mustang GT & didn't notice any lag!

Seems like this "throttle by wire" would make the right handlebar much cleaner/leaner. Will it be internal or just one extrrnal wire.
