ABS Brakes
I road tested a new Street Glide with ABS brakes. Not sure what to think of them on good pavement, but could be a real savior on wet or sandy payment.
Here is the review for the 2008 Street Glide with ABS Brakes.

Has anybody had any problems with the ABS Brakes?

RE: ABS Brakes
Just purchased an 08 Ultra SE3, it has the ABSbrakes. They work great, had to make a fast stop while avoiding a turning car, worked great, without the ABS on the rear, I would have slid into another car, a real lifesaver........and they do work!!!!!

RE: ABS Brakes
I'd like ABS primarily to avoid locking the rear wheel, having the back-end start to come around, and instintively releasing the rear break causing a high side catapult from the bike. Sounds like that's what happened to the guy with the '07 Ultra in thethread about his wreck this past week-endabove.

RE: ABS Brakes
Wish I had ABS when I got into my accident. I thinkit would have made the difference between me exscaping injury or winding up in the hospital for a month as I did. I applied to much rear brake, the rear end fishtailed, at impact, I let off the brakes andthe rear end straightened itself outwhich thenthrew me off the bike.
WithABS I would have avoided the fishtail and may have even stopped before impact!
