Daniel,
All made in Germany BMW motorcycles with anit-lock brake systems have the
letters ABS emblazoned on them. When I buy German made brake parts for them
from my Swiss supplier who is British, we call them ABS. My 1989 K100LT ABS
has "ABS" printed on the modulators. It was made in Germany. Things may have
changed before 1984 - I don't know about that, but from that time on the
Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) has known it as "ABS".
Cheers!!
