Hello! Ive been working on my new handle bar today and came across few things I wanted to make sure of before I proceeddddd.. so few questions.. (bike: 2018 street bob)
1. First of all....Can the trottle by wire sensor wires be extended with solder & extra wires?
2. I've chopped a TBW sensor wires.. in attempt to extend to suit new handlebar... without realising the wires aren't colour coded...
i have 2x red, 2x black and 2x white....
Oh that sucks ! Im no wiring expert but I would say yes they can be extended by soldering and sealing. You may need a shop manual / wiring diagram to get them correctly positioned. Good luck !

Would Wiring diagram help? The wires aren't colour coded..
See any numbers on the plug and throttle sender. Not sure if this helps??? Never ever just cut a covered cable even with electronics off. Even with no power, cutting like that can briefly connect and kill stuff. The part man at a dealership may have one to match where all goes is the best bet.

You need a multi meter so you can do continuity test on all those wires . And then label each one with the number
But you are still going to need the diagram for that throttle controller
also if that was made in Germany each one of those wires would have been a different color !

thanks for the diagram.. again this diagram is colour coded and my 2018 one isn't please see photo..
yeah the cable was entirely out of the bike when cut.
Check and see if your bike matches these schematics. If you can get to the Twist Grip Sensor and determine which wire is which you may get lucky. Softail Models - Hand Controls, Backbone 1,Engine Harness 2 of 3
