We have a little group that helps when an electrical problem pops up. Maybe we’ll invite you to join

Glad to here, we have another tech with a few decades of experience
I would not buy a bike without ABS, but even if I did, as a tech, I would not pursue with this project.... but that's me..
Good luck and ride safe .
