Default ABS Breakes

Bought a 2005 FatBoy CVO and noticed that it might have better brakes.

It has one disk in front and rear and like to know if there is any ABS kits available or even if possible to get 2 disk on the front

Thanks
Petri

ABS, no. Dual discs, yes.....but it will take a lot of work. Different front wheel, fork sliders, master cylinder, brake lines, extra caliper among other things.

The best thing to do to improve your braking would be to put a better caliper (6 piston), better pads/rotor and a braided brake line with good fluid...

I do wish that somebody would come out with a retrofit kit for older vehicles, both cars and bikes, and get them ABS.
