Electronic Throttle Control

Asking to see if anyone knows, or where to find the answer:

I have a 2011 FLHTK Ultra Limited, and would like to know, how do you know if you have ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), on your bike?

Thanks in advance for any info..

You have it. 2008 touring started with TBW. But, to answer your question, if you don’t see throttle/idle cables going to the right perch, you’ve got TBW

Thanks guys, I am assuming that "TBW" has something to do with "ETC", all these abbreviations drive me nuts

lmao...
anyway, the main reason for the original question is that I am trying to replace the heated grips I have now, with
some normal grips, but I am having issues trying to located a set that will fit !!!

TBW= throttle by wire. Layman's term for ETC.

In most cases , the web sites / stores that sell them will have a section where you can input your bikes info . Then you can choose whatever type grips you would like to go with . Or you could show us a photo of what you have in mind , and we'll help you get it sorted out .
