Default Tbw?

I recently brought home a 2013 Road Glide. My ? is, I want to move the handlebars forward quite a bit. So when I do this I will have to rock the controls back on the bars. Will this effect the Throttle By Wire settings, or am I all good W/ no problems?

It shouldn't effect the TBW but the control switches housing will only rotate a small amount due to the notch/groove for the wires.

you will have no problem, the 2013 Road Glides do not have internal wiring in the bars other than the TBW..

Your controls rotate not the grips.

Thanks for the replies. I figured I should be alright, just checking. Now I hope I can get away w/ moving them foward instead of getting new bars. I will fiddle around w/ them today.
