:beerRecently,after a frustrating search for a ABS brain for my '93 K75s.I made a good find.A fellow in Japan will check or repair a brain and ship it anywhere for $320.00.I'd found a used one for $400.00{new is available fot $1900.00}and bought it.Then ,with a google search, I found Tabu Tosi, email k100abs@gmail.He includes a printout of the checks he performs and warrantees the unit for a year. Bought one,plugged it up and it works.I don't recall his website wwwstuff but email him...a pleasure to deal with.Matthew Mims
 
The ABS modulator failed on my 94 BMW R1100RS back in 98 following a crash. The bike suffered only minor cosmetic injury, I got a busted leg when it fell on me. I think it failed due to some issue of a breather or overflow tube from the ABS modulator, not the repeated low-voltage starts the dealer claimed was the "burned in" fault it supposedly set in permanent memory.

I rode without ABS for eight years when I finally found a salvaged ABS modulator on ebay with a "buy it now" price of $250. It came off a K1100RS (even though the seller said it was from a R1100GS). I installed it myself, bled the brakes, fresh fluid and all. Then took the bike to my local dealer so the tech there could initialize it to my bike. That was back in 06 and it has been working great since then! I just tested it hard this afternoon doing a series of high effort stop to practice my braking skills. All total the cost to replace the unit was $300.
