Like some of the others - I tossed the stock TBW with the green plug and went with the older style without it - well worth the $100

FYI you can get 48" control switch harnesses from Namz now so you can eliminate burying any plugs at all in your bars. Redid mine this year.

So as most of you know it turned out to be the TwistGrip Sensor. They installed a new one without the Green plug and all seems good. Now to put some miles on and get used to them again. I already feel as if I need to pull them back a bit. But going to get some miles on before I do that.

Put some miles on and the confidence and smiles will return.
Good Luck

Glad to hear that it's fixed. I put 170 miles on mine last weekend and the better riding position made me forget about the issues l encountered while installing them.

Be safe out there and enjoy the ride.

My first question would be was this a dealer or indy bubba shop that did the work.
So many times we read any one can do it I am not paying --- for the work. Then we see this.

I'm not trying to start anything but l don't really see how this would matter. Pulling the wires thru a set of Yaffe monkey bars is a pain regardless of ones skill level. The green plug on the newer bikes definately ups your chances of something going wrong.

There is a big difference in a dude with a six pack doing the work and someone that gets paid well to do it. And does a lot of them. I have watched the work local HD tech does with outrageous bar changes and he gets it right every time. I have also seen many of the go the cheaper routes fail big time. There is a difference.
