Nobody??????????????? ;-(

I guess nobody tried... yet...
casings look different, motor and guts are probably identical...
Member Norm Keller had fixed & refurbed a few ABS-I kits in the past... don't know about ABS-II though...

I would bet that if they didn't interchange due to different mount locations, you could improvise a mount and be fine. When I had mine apart for cleaning they did in fact appear to be identical component wise.

There is a thread on here where a guy in England used the front crank angle sensor on the rear modulator,just joined the wires he said,I quizzed him on the part number for the front crank angle sensor but never heard from him,I couldn't find the part number anywhere, you can buy the complete modulator of course but it's a crazy price.

yea i picked up a nice clean front unit of ebay with the intention of just using the sensor as i'm fairly sure thats whats gone, but the 2 torx screws are well coroded in and am thin king i might just change the whole thing if it will work

I went through that using the modulators from my parked 97 only to find out that the problem was that my CT had worn to a small enough diameter that it was triggering a fault. Spooky one to as when to triggered it it sent the pistons over all the ports. I had rigid pedal and lever till I got slowed to the ABS threshold.. Really got my attention! :

Yep, I pulled the fuzes and rode it till I got a new tire. Then all was good again.
