Hello all, from Virginia here, and have just this day taken ownerhip of a 2013 R3T, with 3300 miles. Will be leaning on all ya'll for whatever I can learn, and perhaps as I become more familiar with my ride I might have a nugget of knowledge to pass on.

I believe it does. It has the factory highway pegs and that leads me to think it does. If I remember the pegs were standard with the abs package. I will have look at it deeper when I get some days off. I am railroad man and that can take days of my time at once!

I believe easy way to tell is should be a wire going down the forks besides the two brake lines.

Any wires or disc at the left side front axle?

That would be a give away!

Welcome from the heart of Dixie, Alabama.

Not a big deal if it doesn't just be aware the back brake will lock up rather easily if applied to hard.

Enjoy and welcome

I habitually use lots of front brake, with the just enough rear to say I am getting all that's available. Works pretty good and I get even pad wear on my other bike. I will be mindful of lockup potential though.
