With ABS, you can put chains on the back wheel and ride in the snow...

With regards to that police chief that was killed, that is one heck of a frivolous lawsuit if I ever saw one. Demanding HD recall their bikes to add ABS is akin to requiring all cars built in the 80's to be retrofitted with airbags and leaving open the company to lawsuits if they didn't. And that only happened because of federal mandates (abs is not mandated on bikes). He was riding a bike from a year where they weren't even offered publicly. Unless we should just scrap all bikes and cars from bygone eras...the lawsuit will go nowhere.

Simple question, you don't have the answer move on to something you know about.
For those few of you that had positive input, I say thnx.
Five minutes on the phone with HD and my questions were answered.
When I get the ABS removed, new wheels on, along with the freight train nacelle, I'll post pics for those of you interested in what was done.
I agree. There are a few weirdos on this forum that just spout crap to be heard. I seem to remember this one not too long ago talking about his demons and battling the dragon while threatening other members of the forum. Oh wait a minute, that was......

Lmao

You're funny, have a way of twisting things to your benefit. Forum went downhill because of your kind, you bring nothing to the forum but BS, no tech skills, nada...just smack. Hell, you and freak are always welcomed to the clubhouse. My money says ya 'B' up and run down the road with your panties around your knees. Wanna play? Lets play. Mods in here let you mentally handicapped talk too much smack, in RL you know it wouldn't last.
Since the forum mods cant keep you twits in line and sociable...screw it. Done with it.

Thanks for the compliment, and i'f i'm with BeRick, then i'm in good company. Which is a lot better than i can say about you walking around like you have a stick up your a**. Funny part is, that even though you know all the technical jargon, that still doesn't take away from the fact you're a complete and total do*chebag and no one likes you.

If you remove the ABS and you get into a crash you will void all insurance as well as warranty

Why don't you just buy a bike without ABS ???
