Default 2011 Softails with ABS ?
For those that have a 2011 Softail with ABS, can you tell me where your ABS unit is and post a pic if possible. I am doing some research and need to see this unit. Also, how big is the ABS unit? A measurement would be greatly appreciated as well. Please let me know.

Thanks!

Drew

I saw a Blackline at my local dealer last week, and if I remember correctly, the abs unit is mounted right above the voltage regulator.

6 1/2 inches from top to bottom. Also note that the engine guard that was not supposed to fit with the chin spoiler. just had to use my own hardware.

Is there one in the back for the rear brake near the bottom of the tranny too? Thanks too.

Yep, Didn't know about that one. The first 2 pictures are from the rt side. and 2nd 2 are from the Lt. It looks to be about 5" long going from lt to rt. Starts at the lt side edge of the lt shock and goes across to the middle of the rt side shock.

Anyone running the shotgun shock with the ABS? Looks like that rear canister might be in the way of the compressor from the shotgun...

This is exactly why I was asking. A little R&D for JD.

It looks like that front unit would interfere with an oil cooler too.
