just read the Simple-NO-COST-servo-removal-of-1150-IABS-system thread
Wrong thread - 2000 model would not be servo...
Steptoe
Mentioned recently in one of his posts a way was available to do it so the loom was kept and the procedure reversible.
Best send him a post.

The OP does not appear to be a subscriber, might just be the best 12 pounds he will spend for a while.

OK I understand the fiscal shortfall comment. My comment about subscribing was that as a subscriber you can make and receive private messages, can be useful in these cases.
As has been pointed out your bike if it is a 2000 model will not have a servo. Have you used the search facility on here? tried Google? My 1150 is a later model so has a servo, because of this I have not looked to see how abs might be removed from an earlier model.
There are lots of posts on here from people who have had abs problems that were caused by such things as low battery voltage, blocked filters in the system etc. Are you sure you need to remove the abs? Some dealers have been known to tell people that a whole unit needs replacing rather than a simple fix, sometimes they are right sometimes not. As I often said to customers at my garage when they had been told for instance that they needed a new gearbox, buying a new car solves the problem of a full ashtray!
Hopefully someone will come along with the answer to your question about removing the abs but don't discount the idea that this might not be necessary.
Good luck, whatever you find, spring is coming bikes should be on the road!

The OP has a year 2000 bike = Non servo model.
Which means no wiring to be altered - Just a very simple unbolt and remove the abs modulator, pull out the solid brake lines, reconnect the flexi-lines and away you go...
As to if it needs to be removed, well the OP hasn't said why he wants it gone.
But the very simple ABS system fitted to his bike rarely needs to be removed as it's pretty robust. Perhaps he's seen all the servo problems and read about people removing it that he thinks the same needs doing for his system.

Steptoe is the man! A 2000 bike won't have a servo and as Steptoe says probably does not need the abs removed to solve the problem. As I tried to point out dealers are prone to replacing whole units, not always for the right reasons.
John
I don't want to sound rude here chap but, you clearly haven't got a clue what you're doing.
Given your distinct lack on knowledge, do you think it is wise to be feking about with something as fundamentaly essential as the bikes brakes?

A little harsh maybe don't you think. The OP has, according to him, been told a load of old bollocks by the dealer and it would appear they tried to bullshit him by saying the bike should have abs. The implication being I suppose that it is not safe without. I wonder if they could explain why all those GS's sold without the abs option still function
Of course their solution would work but given that what the OP says is true, I don't think I would trust them with a push bike let alone a fine machine like the 1150.
So the Op is confused and I suspect lacking in knowledge, in fact probably should pay someone to solve the problem but part of this has been the fact that he appears to have been mislead by his dealer.

thanks for the info &advise john i think the best thing i can do is sell the bike and go back to what i no and put this bike down to a bad experience
Is this another Trippy post ????? 
How predictable
I removed the ABS from my bike by making up a copper pipe to join the flexible hoses at the front together and bypass the ABS unit as shown in this photo.......

On the rear brake I made the copper pipe up and fitted it as shown in this photo. This bypassed the ABS and removed the link between the front and rear brakes.

I removed the ABS unit and pipes as well seeing as it was only dead weight. This is a very cheap way to remove the ABS especially if you have the equipment to make the short copper pipes and the ability to bleed the brakes.
An auto mechanic could make the pipes up for you very easily.
Hope this is of some use to you.

It's straightforward - bypass the ABS unit fluid lines the same as shown in this post http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?232002-Simple-NO-COST-servo-removal-of-1150-IABS-system
Or fit copper bypass lines if you like as recommended by Smug.
Or get a set of HEL or Goodridge braided hoses to fit a non-ABS bike and install straight from the master cylinders to the calipers.
No need to cock about with the brake light wiring for the non-servo ABS, just take out the ABS relay and fuse.
You can remove the ABS unit (simply disconnect all pipes & wires) or leave it in place.
Simples!
