Ended up taking the bars off, looking for a bare wire. Nothing! Finally found it. The stupid grey plug going from the TBW sensor wouldn't stay plugged in the way it should. I ended up cutting the plug out and hard soldering it, Lots of heat shrink, reinstalled, and running great! One of the biggest issues with these things I've found is that little plug about 8" from your TBW sensor on your right bar side. I can believe Harley did this. On the SE models, it's not there. It's one of the few parts for the SE that actually costs less than the standard version and is better!

Sorry about the off-subject post.

Glad I bought a 2008. So far so good but if I have problems I may just have to switch to some 07 pieces.
