I considered the belt adjustment issue myself. Figured I will do my riding at ride height which is where the belt will be adjusted. If I slam the bike it will be parked and it won't matter.

Yup, precisely right! As in Ruger M77. My favorite caliber. 100-grain Nosler Partition . . . I've knocked down everything from deer, antelope and bear to caribou and moose with it for nearly 30-years. Fast, flat and plenty of punch. A killer cartridge! But alas, I digress. ;-)
Back to your SS-ABS . . . I've been 'seriously' considering one for my new Slim too, which also has ABS, but I haven't been able to locate much specific information on the ABS-model on-line. No description about how it differs from the non-ABS version, no installation instructions for it posted anywhere (not even on the official SS website!), and no YouTube videos that I could find either. So yeah, I'll be real anxious to hear your views on it and how smooth the install goes for you.

I upgraded from my 2001 Heritage Softail(non abs) to a 2016 Softail slim s(with abs). I Contacted shotgun shock to see if I could trade in my old system for some credit to purchase a new system for my new bike as I didn't think they were compatible, and they said that my old system would work with my new bike. All I would need to install my system from my 2001 to my new 2016 is the ABS compatible compressor and bracket. I purchased those and have them in hand. Next week I will remove it from my 2001 and I can take comparison pictures of both compressors since I have them, if you'd like.

Yup, been hearing the very same . . . namely, that the newer (ABS) compressor is smaller, yet purportedly with higher output (?), which sounds like a bit of 'marketing' to me, so I too will look forward to seeing what CxMoney is able to share with us on this.

Is there a change to the air lines on the new models, not just one line to the shock?
