IMO, its worth every penny. Had it on my last bike (only came in to play once in 35,000 miles), and wish I had it on my present bike.

Yes, I had a car pull out in front of the wife and I on our Limited. Had to stand on the brakes. The rear did not lock up and the bike went straight and stopped real fast. I am a believer.

I love having it, but it's there as an aid. It does not replace good braking skills.

Get it!!!
Had I had it on my bike when the 18 year old texting and driving made a left hand turn in front of me; I would not have crashed into her.

too many a-holes in cages texting and driving these days.....I feel any advantage is a good advantage...I have had abs on my last 3 bikes, total of about 50000 miles in the past 2 1/2 years, and I may have used the abs once, but I was glad I had them that day

I wanted it on my Blackline but didn't get it. But I'm on the YES side of it. I've heard too many good stories about it.

Yes, no question at all. Even if I never have to use it, having it installed makes me feel better.
