Try this...https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...les/index.html
each model has a specs and pricing tab. Go down and you will see ABS Option and whether its standard or costs something. HD maintains this for both 18 and 19 models.

What bikes (year/model) does Harley offer with ABS as either standard or optional?
Looking to buy ABS to add to my 2009 Streetglide or trade for newer with ABS.
Wondering where to start with my search, but I want ABS.

FWIW, you will not find any dealer that will sell you the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) because, after the recall, the MoCo made that an impossibility.

even if you could find all the parts to add abs to your bike, you would have to have the dealer enable/flash the computer. I doubt very seriously that you would be able to find any dealer willing to do that, at any price.
you're better off trading in your bike and getting one with abs.

Get a bike that has abs on it already. ABS has been on cop bikes since 2005 I think. Was an option on touring bikes a few years later. I know my 2010, 2013 and 2017 had it as standard equipment.

I think the '06 FLHP was the first year of ABS, the control unit took up half of the right saddle bag. The early ones were a poor design. We had a LEO go down after a front brake locked up during braking training even though it had ABS.

OP: I'm sorry I can't answer your question about which bikes specifically have ABS and which don't, but I do have this to say:
When looking at used bikes, make sure you know what ABS looks like. A couple of years ago I went to look at a used late model Dyna that was advertised as having ABS. It didn't. The seller was the second owner, and the guy he bought it from told him that it had ABS and he didn't know any differently. He didn't believe me at first when I told him it didn't have it, but then realized I was right.
