Default Convert Dual Caliper Front ABS to Single

How difficult would it be to convert the front dual caliper brakes on a '17 Street Glide to a single caliper if you have ABS brakes? How would if effect the computer and bleeding the brakes after you removed the caliper? I've not messed with ABS brakes before and not sure of what is involved.
Thanks

Well, I'm putting a 1986-99 FLST front end on my 1979 Low Rider which entails going from dual calipers to a single. Had to get a smaller bore master cylinder to make it work out right. Don't know about the ABS thing as I work on old stuff.
