My 2011 Rocker C came with ABS, when I was looking at the Harley Davidson site, it looks like the new Softail Slim or any 2012 Softail has ABS even as an option, am I reading this correctly?
I believe ABS is standard now...for the LO anyways.
When I bought my 2012 Lo this July they had both standard and with the ABS & Security option.
I don't know if they changed that recently but I was just in the dealers two weeks ago and they had 3 2012 Lo's on the floor with standard brakes and one with ABS.

So when the 2012's came out I traded in the 2010 bought a 2012 with ABS and the 103 motor.
Seems like the MOCO is taking cues from the auto industry. You know, if you want the towing package you also have to pay for a moonroof, leather seats, upgraded stereo, blah blah blah....Just another way to increase the bottom line. Wonder how long before the MOCO is asking for a taxpayer funded bailout....
