Exclamation ABS light question

I just got done putting new handle bars on my buddy's 12 Road Glide. All went well until we turned on the ignition...the ABS light is flashing. I had the battery disconnected the whole time working on it. It still flashes once it is started. Does it need to be rode to reset or do I have another issue?
Thanks for any help!

It's supposed to flash until you ride it. Mine goes of within a few feet.

Flash when below 3-5 mph and means it is working.
Yes any time you mess with the system for a while it will do that more often.
If it comes on a stays on you have a problem
