Current ally converting my 2018 roadster to floorboards had to replace the rear master

Question do I have to rig it up to a computer to purge the abs while bleeding brakes like a Harley or just bleed them as any other none abs brake system?
 
Can't say I've ever used software to aid bleeding, and have had rear brake system apart and modified many times with no issues.
There is a feature in Android TuneECU that can be used if you wish.

Do you have abs on your bike?
 
Just FYI -
I have two Roadsters (2011 & 2012). While hooning the twisties, the rear brake pedals on BOTH motors would eventually lock solid preventing any use of the rear brakes. Very scary and very dangerous! I finally had to pull the rear ABS fuses which cured the problem in both motors. At least I can now trail-brake the twisties without fear of the sudden suprise of losing my rear brakes entering a twisty.
Rocket Roadsters have POS rear ABS in my humble opinion!!!

I had bled the hell outta both looking for consistent pedal operation.
Even paid for the $100 brake bleed tool.
All in all twas a HUGE waste of time, money and brake fluid.
