Default changing grips - cable/ electronic question

Posted in Tech Foruma swell - but this looks more active

Just a quick hitter here guys. I have the diamond plate set of floorboards and grips for my 08 FLTHC - glide classic.
new grips have cable format - will this set still work on my electronic set up.
Thanks a ton
Ron

No you'll need the TBW grips, Unless you do have PP cables.

Not sure of the brand you have but I've been able to put a TBW sleeve in place of a cable sleeve, if you can get the sleeve out.
