I have no idea who makes it, but it is a totally different system on my 2018 Fat Bob than the one that that was on my 2104 Fat Bob. Looks, feels and performs differently.

I bleed all of my ABS systems myself on the Harley's with a regular vacuum system on a compressor, U can bleed as a regular system if leave the contact off and you keep an eye on both
front and rear master cylinder. Also I have a Motoscan 6050 that have the bleeding function on it but as said, not needed for Harley I use it only for my GL1800.

I'm old and prefer no ABS but sure as hell glad I had it the other night riding my Deluxe in heavy rain. BTW I didn't trigger the system ones this night but still made me feel better about going out. Skip to the 10 min mark - is when the rain really started to pour.

So sad. I'm not a big fan of group ride. Hope they fully recovered.
ABS would likely have helped - as would have linked brakes.
I like ABS and can even tolerate linked brakes but I'm just not a fan of Harley's ABS and when possible, with avoid it on Harleys.
