My 08 SG rides just like normal, but it sure is nice to know I have ABS in reserve!

Got it, well worth it. Only had to use them once, so far. Nice to know the brakes won't lock up. Unless I am really stupid.

I had it on my previous bike (BMW). To me it's well worth it. If it saves your *** one time it's more than paid for itself.
