Default TBW Sensor

I just bought the Screaming Eagle TBW sensor. I am re-doing the wiring in my new bars because of some fault codes.

Question I have is; isn't there only six of the wires used coming off the TBW sensor? Seems to me when I originally removed my original TBW sensor only six of the wires were pluged into a connector and the remaining wires were terminated on connectors but were not being used? I think the remainder wires are for heated grips if I remember correctly.

When you guys changed bars did you use the six wires and just tape up the remaining wires?? This came with no installation instructions as far as wiring diagram and I can't seem to find any in my repair manual.

My bike is a 2011 FLHR Road King with cruise.
Thanks...

Thanks.

So the heated grip wires are in the TBW connector?

I am going to do my Wild 1's 575 soon and have not dug into it yet but the info is appreciated.
