Ok, picked up my leftover 2010 fltrx, vivid black with cruise, this was an over the phone deal, and the owner of the shop was the salesman, when I asked what this bike came from factory with, ie..cruise, ABS, secyrity, he said only cruise, but I am pretty sure that it has ABS, as it looks different on the front rotors than my 06, so besides reallly checking the system out by laying on the brakes, how can I tell? thank you, oh, and by the way 80 mile ride home with a huge smile, the wind was kicking up near 30 mph, bike is way more nimble than my glide was with that big ugly looking batwing!!!

Take your right side cover off. If you have a box sittin there with 4 banjo bolts running to it you have abs. if you have a shelf where a box should be sittin, you don't..

Could not of said it better myself. Plus... there is a sensor wire that runs along side the left front brake line.

ok, no sensor wire, guess its just the old regular brakes for me, shucks, just kidding, never had abs, not gonna miss it

FYI, there's also a light on the RPM meter. When you start the bike, the ABS light will turn on for a few seconds. If there's no ABS light, you don't have ABS.

There are two cables that run on the outside of the frame that you can see between the fairing and the gas tank on the brake lever side of the bike if it has ABS.

The brakes look different because they are Brembos - much better than the '06s.

Another way to tell if your bike has ABS. The spacers on the front axle are black with ABS, silver if not.

Best way to tell if you have ABS,.. look at your front brake. There is a little tab, that says ABS on it. Its a black tab, I can't remember exactly where at, but its on your caliper and easy to spot.

also if you have ABS your brake handle will be pretty dang stiff.. the regular will be softer to pull.
