FMIC on classic with ABS - A bitch
 
Well people,as you prob seen i am fitting FMIC on my classic, relativly easy you say.
NOT so!
Its now apparent the guide i am following is for classics without ABS
The models without ABS have the easily removable IC spray bottle.

The bloomin ABS pump is bang in the way of where you need to cut a hole in the wing and run the pipework through :doh:

Anyhow, i have found a solution,I am re-locating the ABS pump electrics, which will free up enough room.I hope!

Anyone know if this is a known issue with FMIC on classic with ABS.

I know of the problem as is obvious when you see where the pump is fitted.

not sure how you get around this, other then removing the ABS

Cheers guys.
It is just the electrics that gets in the way,I have relocated the electrics now, moved forward about an 1 1/2 inches,One supply cable needs extending,easy job with a couple of bullett conectors.The rest of the cables all have plenty of length on them.
A small metal plate to extend the bracket and all will be sorted.
