Sounds like you are an exceptional rider. Many claim it, few can deliver.
As I understand it, the black line means you actually have lost some braking potential vs a pulse system by locking the tire for longer periods there, and in the wet it would be a greater difference in stopping distance between your ability and ABS.
No I never claim it unless someone questions my use of ABS.
The faint black line is not due to a front wheel lock-up, but threshold braking. The last thing you want to do is lock up the rear. Besides, on a lock-up of some 25+ feet, the front end would likely wash out because I had to make a very slight shift in my lane (and why I dropped the raised rear wheel) to avoid an idiot bicyclist who decided to do a snap 90 degree turn on a country road. Cleaning my BMW GS as I usually do when I get home, I had to wipe a rubber streak (from his rear tire) off my left engine guard. Yes, it was that close! I don't stretch truths...exactly why I am not a politician.
During a course, I did both some threshhold and ABS braking in a Porsche 992. 1.34G during threshhold braking (no ABS kicking in) and only 1.22G during ABS braking (full force on the brake pedal).
Of course if you remember the old ABS ad on TV when they first came out with ABS showing a driver in a panic mode locking up their brakes, but also steering around the object. A driver who froze on the brakes will also be frozen on the steering wheel. LOL
