Why does Low Rider not come with ABS brakes?
My dealer always orders from HD such that the only models that they carry with ABS brakes are the ones that come standard with them. Why does a relatively big bike like the Dyna Low Rider not come with ABS brakes standard? I would think that anyone would want ABS on a bike like this?

I got abs on my WG, first bike with abs, and I really like it. After watching videos about abs vs standard brakes it sold me. I'm sure they could order the abs model for you. If not try another dealer.

You may not like or want ABS, and that is your right, but ain't no denying that ABS WILL save your ars eventually if you ride enough miles especially in the rain. It has nothing to do with experience level. It's technology that is just plain good and safer.

Ross, Valentin Rossi, is that you? Didn't think so. ABS is better for everyone except the top riders in the world. The rest of us schmucks can benefit.

Some riders need ABS. You don't need to wear #46 either. ABS makes for l o n g e r stops.
Wait a minute, let me rewrite that for you.

OP, some people simply prefer not to have it. I like it as a safety net in case I **** up, but it does not replace proper braking skills.

And, for the record, people that have ridden and raced for most of their lives generally good enough to use threshold bring principles in MOST situations.
