This is news to me. I'm interested to know how you make out with this. Please keep us posted.
It is no different than bleeding an automotive system with abs. Just don't give the bike power until the air is all out and it shouldn't get trapped in the abs module. I did it on my bike and my brakes work fine.
This may not appeal to everyone but tried this today and has reduced buffeting by 99%😊
I am 6’2 and use the 19” screen on a Fatboy and have suffered with buffering and intense vibration to the helmet varying depending if riding into the wind direction etc
Using a small extension to the lower attach point and putting a slight layback on the screen there is now a clean pass of wind over the helmet as apposed to the barn door effect with the screen straight up and down
Used similar on a dyna screen before to great success and thought would give it a go on the Fatboy
Looking at this seems like there is enough meat on stock bracket on upper mount to cut this mounting hole further to the front to allow lower mount to be in stock place while upper a bit with angle.

yes you are probably right but didn’t want to muck it up, but agree it could be done

Since it is a mounting "slot" and not a hole, you would have to channel it and not drill if you want it to remain easily removable. The angle would probably remain important to seat properly. Be careful with this approach.
Thanks for the link. This looks like it is pretty useful and I am considering just getting the app. From what I have read and videos, as far as flushing goes if the ABS module is not actuated during the flush then a bit of old fluid remains in the module.
From what I understand bleeding the way I am doing will leave that little bit of old fluid in the module until it is actuated either by computer or while riding.
2020 Low Rider, Installed a wiring harness off of battery, tucked the end under right hand side cover. End of harness can plug into my Micro-Start battery pack, easier than messing with clamps, do to how tucked in the battery and starter are on this bike.
Took the Sport Glide out for a nice ride in the rain this evening. I've been looking for a chance to test out my new Olympia Richmond jacket my wife got me for Christmas. It was a nice steady light rain and temperatures were in the mid 50's...seemed like as good a time as any for a ride
