Removing ABS
You will need non-abs wheel bearings and probably different spacers. This site will help you determine the different parts for ABS and Non-ABS.

I'm assuming he looks at it like buying a car and having the ABS or airbags removed. Most people don't get the point since all they do is improve safety. I'm not sure I understand either, but my opinion doesn't mean squadoosh. Good luck.
No no, no war here I just didn't know what you meant. I have rode long enough without abs and like my previous quote explains I'm on a serious budget and abs compatible stuff is expensive, not to mention you have to have the dealer bleed the breaks to be certain and **** that, I don't spend one dollar in a stealership. Some people bitch about me stripping down an Ultra, but it was the best bike when I traded my slop tail in and I like to keep my bikes simple is all. I like to have a nice stereo, of course more power, and some cool looks. I don't need all that other crap
Yea I gotcha, I just don't find it necessary and if I could've gotten a bike without I would've, just trying to remedy what I like with what I've got. Know what I'm sayin

I don't want it and don't need the excess of it I guess, and don't care about the resale value.. Plus it's harder to find some things for the abs bikes without spending an arm and a leg so I'd rather just get rid of it

I speculate the percentage of people who think they can threshold brake in bad conditions under emergency circumstances without ABS is about 35-40%.
In reality, its probably .01 percent.
You're a biker, and I worry about bikers, what can I say?
Ride safe, brother!
