Hello Brother. I was going to do as you did but I sent my bike for inspection and asked them to pay special attention to the ABS. They washed the entire system with degreaser and isopropyl alcohol and everything started working normally again. I also have a Vrod and I did the bypass, on the rear brake, and it turned out really well. I have problems with the front brake on the Vrod and I will put the bike in for review soon and ask them to do what they did on the Ultra, if everything goes well it will be great but if it doesn't work I will do as you did, I will also put the bypass on the front brake. Life goes on ! Big hug and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks man! This works great and is the cleanest / cheapest fix I've seen yet. No stealership needed. Harley should have re-called this issue decades ago but chose to hang their customers with the cost. NOT A GOOD LOOK HARLEY!

Thanks, found them on amazon. My bike has been sitting for a year now.... I even took the module apart to see if I could clean it. Really should be a recall on this with a redesigned part. Pretty dangerous.

Used you design today!! Installed and Working perfectly!! Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks brother for your video. I did the same thing on my VRod, on the rear brake. Now I have the front lever of my Ultra locked, I think I'm going to do the same thing and your video was very enlightening for me. I have a 2012 Ultra and a 2012 VRod. Big hug and good roads!

After bypass, plug abs module back in and leave it on the bike. abs light turns off

I hate the problematic rsds system on my trike, no more nanyware! So I decomputerized my trike , carbed it and installed a stand alone ignition system. Plus installed a road glide faring

Gonna do this soon , but in the mean time , my rear was locked up , and I turned ignition on to cycle abs valves , then tapped the front of the hcu until the rear valve freed up , and simply pulled the abs fuse

Just picked up the parts for a buddy’s 2012 ultra classic. Thank you for the vid. Ever thought of just plugging the holes on the abs valve and keeping it in place so your light doesn’t stay on?

Very interesting video, I want to make this change too. My question is what happens to the electrical system? does the ABS warning light stay on? does the control unit have problems in the future? or do I just know how to change the oil pipes?

And BTW , just called a dealer and the HCU is $735.00 , they fail for two reasons , one not getting the unit cycled and flushed and the other is they fail even with regular maintenance , and if you do your own maintenance you can get an app or tablet for less than $200 and do it yourself instead of paying the dealers

Don't usually comment on videos, but thank you very much :)

just look at your repair, how did it work out for you I'm about to do mine thank to you.

Great video I’m having the same problem, did you have to do anything to the computer or lights flashing on dash after getting rid of abs?

Thank you, So simple. Is everything still working okay?

Wondering did you use the same banjo bolts?

How did you get the abs light to go off? I bypassed mine and the light stays on all the time no blinking, even after pulling the fuse.

My problem is just the opposite, front brake has no pressure, it squeezes right to the handlebar grip first squeeze. No air in the system, bled correctlly. One pump and it's good. Is this a ABS issue?

Riding and wrenching since the late 1970s without ABS and don't need or want it. As more HDs age getting rid of the extra junk will be the wise move.

Can we just undo all abs????

All you did was connect the 2 front lines together and the 2 rear lines together and done??

Why in the HELL is this part so expensive in the first place, resulting in having to bypass it? It seems like a pretty simple fluid exchanger type of box. What is so special that justifies the cost? Just so they can gouge people with the repair cost?
