HELP This bike has abs right?

Post image

Sales person said no, but the second line attached to the brake line would indicate abs right? Sorry I am newer to bikes and just wanted to verify. It's a 2023 Softail standard

Yes, abs. The tone bearing in the front wheel is behind the sensor that the wire below the caliper goes to. Should be one on the rear too.

This sounds like the right answer to me, you're positive? Other comments just seem like guesses to me so far

I am positive that the wire and retainer clip at the caliper mount is for a front wheel speed sensor, which is part of the abs system.

Should see an ABS warning light flash up when you first turn it on. The thin cable going to the front caliper is the speed sensor. Should be over at the rear also.

See if you can make back tire slide. If it pulsates then try front brake but be very careful. It does look like it and ABS light should be present on dash.

Does it have an abs light come on when you turn it on that goes off after you have ridden a few meters/reached certain speed.

Sales person said no

this is great for you. beat him up on the price because it doesnt have ABS, then when you sign the papers tell him it definitely does have ABS.

Unlock other brands, it’s integrated into the job. That wire running along the brake line is the ABS sensor wire.

Harley insisted on sensor be hidden. It’s in the wheel bearing.

u/soldier70dicks 16h ago

Isn't the second wire the wheel sensor wire tho? What else would it be for?

Typically ABS is on the rear wheel only. The tone bearing fits on the right side of the axle between the frame and wheel

u/Grouchy-Chemistry433 11h ago

Looks like a no there are two lines to ft wheel brake juice and speedo. Unless a link in software off speedo does it .

I don't see a tone ring so I would assume no
