I've been watching for a good deal on a Street Glide, but I'm not sure I know how to ascertain the various options on any given bike just by looking. Certainly I can ID the Boom 6.0 radio as opposed to (4.3?), but after that, it's sketchy for me. You guys have already confirmed that all touring models (in my desired range; 2014-2016) have electronic cruise control, but what about ABS brakes? Do all touring bikes (2014-2016) have ABS? What does an ABS caliper look like as opposed to a standard caliper?

Thanks in advance,

You will see on the front left brake line a little wire that follows the brake line up.

 

the calipers are the same. there is not an abs/non-abs caliper. the easiest way is like what griffendenim says, if there are 2 lines on the left, you've got abs.

 

Now that's pretty easy to see in the pics. Perfect solution! Thanks so much, guys!

 

and an Ultra will have three lines to the front wheel
-brakes
-ABS
-fender tip light

 

This is KEY. Any bike with a fender tip light will have a wire to feed the light, so a wire does not guarantee ABS, look for the fender tip light. In the picture above, the wire attached to the brake line terminates at the axle, where the ABS sensor is located. The fender tip light wire disappears into the fender and does NOT go to the axle area.

 

My 14 SG aint got ABS.
