Rear Wheel abs wire routing
Hi everyone I just wondered if anyone can help with a picture of where the abs wire goes as I just put my rear wheel together and the abs wire looks real tight. It is currently running above the swiing arm and by the caliper bolts. 2010 Electra Glide Classic.
Thanks
Thanks

thnx Spur
Yes something is not right as it rotates to a stop at the top of the brake caliper but not on the nipple that is sticking out. and it seems to be rubbing on the brake caliper. I looked on line but did not see any diagrams. I will have to make the trip into town I guess.
Thanks for the response.

Make sure the sensor is oriented correctly. The connection wire to the sensor comes in at about a 60 degree angle, make sure that is pointing toward the wheel. If not it will bind against the caliper support. If I remember right the wire runs through an opening between the caliper and the support and then along the brake line. At work and don't have the bike in front of me. Should be plenty of slack in though if it is running right. It runs throuhg the clip on the swingarm the the brake line is running through and it has a small clip to attach it to the brake line close to the caliper. I believe the owners manual says the little clip should be 1.25 inches in front of the metal fitting on the brake line going to the banjo. Hope that helps

Thanks again
Thanks for the responses I do not have text here bdp, but I would appreciate it if you can post it. I will look up your posts vtwin but I actually did do a search and came up with nothing. Spur 56 soounds like I have it oriented wrong as I have it angled to the outside, from the wheel, where the wire enters the sensor. I just returned from work and will try early tommorrow morning.
Thanks again for all the help.

Sorry to raise up an old thread, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I was installing a rear brake caliper cover on my 2016 Fatboy Lo and I noticed that the rear Wheel Speed Sensor cable, which is bundled with the brake fluid cable up to the brake caliper, then travels under the swing arm to the sensor, but it hangs under the swing arm and I’m concerned that it’s exposed and could be damaged. I never moved it in any way so I’m wondering if it’s been installed correctly or......I checked the routing on my wife’s 2012 Fatboy Lo and it’s very different, hers somehow gets routed between the caliper and the swing arm and seems to be safely tucked away. The only way for me to imitate her routing would be to loosen off and possibly remove the rear wheel! If someone could post a picture or two of the routing of the same cable on their bike I would be most appreciative. Thank you (I have searched all the forums and the internet as well as my workshop manual and this was the only thread I could find!)
