Default Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the process of installing apes on my bike. And after reading hundreds of threads about running internal wires I opted to leave the green plug on the TBW. What a stupid idea..........

Lon story short... wires got stuck and ended up destroying the green plug getting everything back out. and the TBW wires pulled out.

So the question is........
on the sleeve sid there is 2 red, 2 white, and 2 black wires. And on the harness side there is blue, gray, red, violet, brown and black wires.
Can anyone tell me which wire goes to which wire?

Many thanks in advance

sorry man, my old rk still has throttle cables... but at the risk of sounding like a dick, i will say, if i did have a tbw bike, and i was working on that bike, i bet my shop manual would have the answers i'm lookin for, in the electrical/wiring section. You do have a shop manual... Right?

On the throttle side of the green plug do you see the yellow heat shrink and the black heat shrink?

Default Wiring

Yellow heat shrink has 3 wires in it. (Red, white, black)
Red to Red
White to Violet
Black to Gray

Black heat shrink has 3 wires in it. (Red, white, black)
Red to Brown
White to Blue
Black to Black

There is a small black heat shrink that has 2 wires in it(1 white 1 black). They are only if you have heated grips.

Hope this helps!!
