Default Softail ABS

Has anyone heard when or if ABS will be available on the Softail models?

ABS would be a great addition for my Heritage. Wished I had ABS on several occasions.

Even if they came out with an addon I'm sure it would be so expensive as to be impractical.

I know alot of old schoolers don't want the abs but I still think it should be available as an option on new bikes.

Where are you going to hide the ABS stuff on a Softail?
