ABS: late model Low Rider - how to visually identify

Hello All - I'm in the market for a 2017 Low Rider...I want ABS. Some owners that I've emailed (craig's list, etc.) claim their bikes have ABS - but they don't. Is there any way I can visually identify ABS on a late model Low Rider? Thanks in advance.

On my 2015 the abs unit is in front of the right passenger peg. Look for the speed sensor wire from the rear brake caliper running next to the brake line.

Triangular black cover in front of the right passenger peg, under the battery box.

As mentioned above, and there's also extra brake lines between the triple clamps and fuel tank.

Theres also the fact theres a ABS fault light in the dash that lights up with key on and flashes till it rolls. No light, no ABS.... I doubt a 17 is gonna have a bad bulb. Ask em if theres a light. Not sure why someone would lie about that, not like your gonna check for it.
