No doubt about it, there are times when you need to haul things down in a hurry. And you don’t get to pick those times. Or decide whether or not they occur when you’re on a flat, smooth, dry, perfect stretch of pavement. That’s why our touring models feature the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS. ABS turns a locked-up front wheel or a rear wheel skid into a relic from riding’s history. And the front and rear brakes are electronically linked to provide exactly the right amount of brake to each tire no matter what the road condition is. No matter how good you are, this will make you a better rider."
Now this is a copy from the HD-website. Read it carefully and then ask yourself the question, whether ABS must be engaged for the "Reflex" brakes, to work, or not. Without ABS linked brakes wouldn't make any sense, wouldn't they. Besides how would that system work without ABS?

I think you need to reread that.

I think I have to apologize. I really was under the impression that the brakes are only linked when the ABS is activated. I guess I was wrong.
