This makes sense , seeing that the bike will already have ABS. So is it just a matter of making the trigger disc fit maybe this is where the problem lies , probably it doesn't just bolt up/line up . Vernon mentioned the disc bowed or misshapes itself somehow. What is not clear is why , seeing that if the same brake disc bolts up why not the ABS trigger disc ? The trigger disc is on the outboard side of the brake disc .

Exactly, the stock trigger is mounted on the disc, not the wheel, not on the spindle where it would effect spacers, etc.

Hence I cannot see what the issue is.

Can't you just machine 4 washers to sit under the disc bolt holes to elevate the disc just enough to avoid the lip on the wheel?

Shimming out the trigger disc would have a knock on effect with sensor air gap for starters, and possibly clearance concerns with the caliper carrier. Just turn down the hub to clear, wouldnt take much to do that.

Hey Stu,
Thanks a lot for finding the time to check this issue for all of us!
Front wheel is the same issue or only the back?
Thanks a lot for sorting this out!
