This hasn't been mentioned, but have you checked the rotor(s) for run-out? A warped rotor will cause the same symptoms.

Here is what I purchased.

Mine was much simpler and didn't require me to remove the block. I just plugged the outlet of the ABS module and used the double banjo that stacked the inlet and outlet hoses on the other side of the block. I will try and get a photo today.

Yes thank´s a photo would be great, i think when doing it like in the video the ABS-lamp may stay on and if that´s the case there is no way of getting the bike through inspection here in Sweden.
