'16 Road Glide, FRONT ABS DELETE
Hola fellow riders, so I'm nearing the end of a pretty substantial bike build and need y'alls help. I put a Mach 8 front end from American Suspension on this bad boy and it is a narrower front end that won't allow for the ABS spacer when I put the new wheel in there. I had to machine my own 3/8" spacers for each side of the hub which is certainly much narrower than the factory ABS sensor (hence why it won't fit). I'm sure you can tell where I'm going with this... I basically need to delete the front ABS but don't want the damn ABS light on all the time so pulling the fuse is not an option. I was wondering if I could keep the ABS sensor plugged in and just hide it in the fairing or would that simulate the wheel locking up and mess with the front braking when enabled? There's gotta be a guru out there that can help!
THANKS!
Ty

The thought that flashed into my mind was that this is a bridge that should have been crossed BEFORE spending all that money. I'd get ahold of the manufacturer, American Suspension, and make it their problem, since they're selling the part and profiting from it.
Like Prot, I think there may be an answer, but this is a mod that I've never run across, might be slim pickins out here on the forum...but ya never know. Might also be time to seek the services of a skilled fabricator...good luck, keep us posted!

I believe the ABS system can be enabled/disabled, but not just the front...

So apparently nobody knows how to address this (dealer, American Suspension, etc. AS said they just leave it unplugged which throws a light. This abs unit can’t possibly be machined down to 3/8” from an 1 3/4” because there wouldn’t be anything left. I thought of putting it on the other side of rear wheel so it would have two abs sensors on it, won’t work. Thought of tapping the front sensor two wires to rear sensor two wires, also doesn’t work. So I found the solution. Cut the two wires to the front abs plug, heat shrink them and tuck them back into wire tray under the tank. Get yourself some Dakota Digital gauges, take the 4 screws off the front of the gauges and remove the glass, the impression with the two small LED lights for the abs light fill with black silicone, put the glass back on, secure the screws and wa la. Put a label under the seat saying front ABS has been disabled and keep the plug in case you want to revert back to stock. Once she’s all done I’ll try it without pulling the abs fuse to see how she functions and if it’s wacky I’ll pull it and she how she goes. Stay tuned!

Not sure about the cruise control. Since non ABS equipped bikes also have cruise control, they must get their seed settings a different way.
But since there really is an error code being displayed (just can't see it), the cruise may not work. In most cases any error codes will not allow cruise to operate.
