To check the compatibility of your pair of handles you must refer directly to the model of your machine: several types of handles exist in order to adapt to the different models in the range.
TBW : Throttle By Wire, or electronically controlled throttle grips are the latest generation of throttle grips eliminating the cable system and passing only through the motorcycle's electronic network.
The models equipped with this system are:
The entire Milwaukee Eight (abbreviated M8) range
The TWIN CAM (abbreviated TC) Touring models from 2008 onwards and the Softail models from 2016 onwards
To check compatibility, make sure that no cables are connected to your throttle grips.
CBL : Cable, standard throttle grips still used on many machines and models, notable for the double cable system connected to your throttle grips.
The models equipped with this system are:
The entire Sportster range (excluding Sportster models with REVMAX engines)
All Harley-Davidson models prior to 2008
25+ : TBW system specific to the latest generation Harley Davidson range from 2025 onwards. Verifiable on your machine thanks to the latest generation switchgear.
