Folks,

I've decided to part with my beloved K1100RS.
One of the ABS modulators packed up eons ago, the cost of a replacement was crazy, and by all accounts the early BMW ABS systems were nothing to brag about.
So I re-piped both brakes as a regular non-ABS model and they've work fine for a long time.
The original modulators are on the bike to cover up nasty gaps, as it the ABS computer and sensors.

My question is....Is this likely to cause problems for the new owner during the roadworthy.?
Would it be better to remove the electronics and modulator's so she looks like a non-ABS version ?

Cheers
