Default Need new TBW cable.

I was installing my new bars on my bike and I broke the green connector on TBW cable. On the part itself it has a sticker with the part#70415-08A. I call my dealer and he said they have part#70415-08. My cable has a black connector on the side with the green connector. The dealer said the one he has only has the green connector by itself. So I would like to know if that part he has will work, or do I need the 08A? He said he doesnt have 08A in his computer.
Any help would be great

Cut the green plug out and solder and heat shrink the wires together and keep the 100 bux in your jeans.

Black plug is for heated grips.

2kids,
Thanks for quick reply. I was going to do that, but it only cost $23. Im not that good at sodering either.
I figured the black plug was for heated grips. So I can use the one from the dealer with no problem then? Then on the throttle sleeve itself, just leave the black connector off correct?
Thanks

I'm selling the cvo tbw in the for sale section if your interested. No green plug to worry about and easier to pull through.

On this same topic. Any good tips on getting the TBW through the bars? I have a couple of tight angles on my bars. I heard use grease, dish washing liquid. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Wire lube? Can I get that at auto zone? Is it the same stuff to actually lube the wire itself? I just spray it on the taped up wire?
Thanks.

Get rid of the green plug

I slid this over my wire bundles..this stuff is slippery, I could push the wire bundles through the bars.
