ABS on RKC - worth the money?

Considering purchasing a 2008 RKC. Does anyone have the ABS option on their Road King? Is this option worth the money or are the standard brakes OK?

Wish I had waited for the 08's. ABS is woth the $$ IMHO. Rear brakes on my bike are very easy to lock up and have to really resist the tempatation to let off the brake once locked up.

You only need to use the abs once and you'll find it was worth it. Smart money.

ABS is well worth the money. I'm a Motor Officer for a city police department and have told everyone and anyone that if they have the option, get it. The ABS has kicked in a few times and helped me out. It seriously helps the "pucker factor" because you know that know matter what, you don't have to worry about the wheels locking up.
