i have a buddy who has a 2012 roadglide he is putting apes on and is having trouble with the throttle by wire system i havent seen it personally but this is what hes got
Throttle by wire #1 can I by pass the green plug and wire those wires together from the throttle I have a yellow sleeve with 1-white wire 1-red wire and 1-Black wire then I have a black sleeve with 1-White wire 1-red wire and 1-Black wire I have two other wires that are white andblack also coming of the throttle by wire that were plugged into a black plug that was not plugged in on the other end. From the wiring harness of the bike I have 1-Red wire 1-Black wire 1-Brown wire 1-Blue 1-violet 1-gray/slate wire and a 1-black and 1- white that are taped togetherhow do I wire these. What wire goes where I don't need the pin out I need the color code to get these wired up straight
Sorry but I can't answer your specific question but you know that the screaming eagle version of the tbw has no green plug and a longer pigtail?
That's what I had to use when installing pullbacks and internal wiring.

Reason: spelling
When I soldered wires for my apes I eliminated the green plug by soldering the wires together. The green plug can get damaged and by soldering clean then shrink wrapping your ensuring a neat connection to the source. Soldering with shrink wrapping is key to success with extensions.
Screaming Eagle TBW Extension is the way to go. Part Number: 32310-08. Lists for about $100. Other options are to solder the extensions on or just buy an extension kit from one of the aftermarket suppliers. Do a google for it and you'll find lots of options for extensions. Namz seems to make the best ones.
