The easiest way to know if you have TBW is to remove the throttle or check if there are cables hanging out near the throttle. A visual check is your best bet

Here's a thread I found helpful when I installed new bars on my 2012 RK. He (dr_jay) provides photos and descriptions of the work as he installs the new bars. This and the service manual were invaluable to me.

You'll find it's a long thread because people are commenting in between dr_jay's posts.

And +1 on getting the service manual.

Good luck with your bar swap.

Service manual is a must.
Not meaning to sound too abrasive, but if you didn't see that you don't have throttle cables perhaps you should let someone else handle the modifications. Learning is great, throttle and brakes done wrong can get you killed.

The manual will bounce you around quite a bit - follow along carefully. Many have broken the brake light switch by not following instructions.
