Default T.W.B or T.W.R??

I'm new to baggers. What does TWB or TWR stand for. Read several post, just don't know what it stands for.

You sure you don't mean TBW? That would be Throttle By Wire.

I'm pretty sure you mean TBW....which is the new throttle set up on 08's.....it means throttle by wire....which means there are no throttle cables.

TBW= throttle by wire ..........aka ride/fly by wire. new throttle system on 08 touring that replaced throttle cables.

the TWR is "another" version of a stabilizer for flh wobble.https://www.hdforums.com/m_3231654/tm.htm
