don't know if I have abs brakes or not! Someone asked me the other day and I couldn't give them an answer. THe bike is an 08 flhx.
Is there a way to tell? VIN? pls help the stupid blonde guy in mass.
Is there a wire coming from the front brake caliper and following the hose?
If not, then No you don't have ABS.
Also when you turn the ingnition on if you have ABS the ABS light will come on for self test then go out. If it never comes on during startup then you don't have ABS.
On the left side of the front axle next to the wheel is a thick black ring, that is the pickup for the abs... if you don't have one, you dont have abs...
