Throttle by wire

Picking up my 2010 Ultra Clasic on Saturday. How do I know if my new ride has this feature or not?

It does, kinda of weird to get used to but I only have 100 miles on mine so I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I think You will like it. You almost cannot tell that there is no throttle cable.

When you gave them the $$ they gave you a bike with the TBW. Very nice, and a much cleaner look to the bars without the cables.

Thanks, everyone. I happened to see the bike at a dealer I don't normally visit because of the distance of a three hour drive one way. I looked it over and decided I liked it, drove home and then called them and told them I would take it and come back the following weekend to pick it up. Kind of an impulse but it will go well with my 05 RKC. Didn't even notice whether it had cables or not...too busy looking at the other stuff on the bike. Looking forward to this bike for the open road and the RK for other stuff. Thanks again.
