    TBW = Throttle By Wire
    You can get the wire kit ($40 - $60 USD) or just buy a spool of wire ($5.00)and solder it yourself(better connection).
    My brake line was not long enough (was just long enough for the stock bars). I was told by the folks at Wild 1 that I needed 4" over stock brake line. Yours may be long enough though, only one way to tell, install the bars and line it up I also heard that the stock clutch cable is long enough but on sharp turns it may rub on the tank and affect your paint. I didn't want to risk it so I just bought the 2" over stock cable... not to mention, the braided lines really look much nicer too

    I actually just started the install around 10pm this evening... I'm about halfway there, got the new bars on but need to splice and feed wiring through the bars. So far the TBW is definitely long enough, no need for a new one. As far as the other wires, I bought a spool of 18 Gauge wire and some 16 gauge(the left bar uses 3 wires in 16 gauge from what I've heard) as well as some shrink tubing. Shrink tubing was $3 for about 3' and you can pick up a spool of wire for pretty cheap, the one I got was on sale for $5. I also needed longer brake line, 4" over stock, and although I didn't need it, it was recommended I go 2" over stock on the clutch cable to be ideal. picked up some really nice chromite II braided brake line and clutch line for just over $200 from magnum shielding (they make the diamond back lines you get from harley). I'll update you with info and pics once I'm done.

    Hey Harley2534... I'm not sure what brand bars they are... they were on the bike when I bought it and I have not been able to find any markings indicating a brand. I'll try and pop the bar clamp cover off and see if there is a stamped name.
