+1 ride and slide, or look for the wiring on the front wheel. I prefer the ride and slide method.

The light on the dash/speedo. Or the wire, or definitely the Ride and Slide.
I have been on the binders so hard I KNOW they would have locked badly if I hadn't had ABS! This in only 380 miles of riding it so far. (One close call,, was one too many!)

Pop the right side cover; if you see a bunch of brake lines coming into a spider then you have ABS. If you see a hole big enough to put a PC III you don’t.

One thing I love about Harleys is the way they hide so much of the wiring, etc.
Even on an ABS bike you have to know what you're looking for because even the wiring is cleverly hidden by the left brake line.
Old school (appearance) rules.

We all have Abs but when we get older a layer of fat tends to cover them so they aren't as visible any more.

Look for two cables running across the neck on the right side of the bike.

Didn't get a chance to read the post, just the title. Take your shirt off, if girls swoon, then you have abs.
