Default Throttle By Wire?

May be a stupid question, but got to ask. I have a 2007 Dyna Street Bob and wanted to ask what it means and double check that my bike does or does not have this? Thanks again.

You have throttle cables. Throttle by wire involves two sensors, normally found on newer touring bikes.

Whay it means is that on bikes with throttle by wire there is an electrical switch on the handlebar control which interprets what position you have selected on the amount of throttle opening and then the computer sends a signal to a small motor that opens the throttle butterfly valve on the intake. Your model bike doesn't have it and although it's fairly new technology on bikes it has been used on cars for a while. Chances are that if you have a newer model car you alredy have it.
