Hi all,...

I ordered an 08 Ultra while deployed to the desert but have to wait until June to take delivery. They just emailed and said they have one in stock with my color and all the options except ABS. What can I expect to pay at a local dealer to have ABS installed? if the price is not too much more than getting it with ABS from the factory, I might get my Ultra way earlier than I thought

thanks!

ABS is not a dealer installable option. If it was, it would be a whole lot more than factory install because I think the main wiring harness is different, along with running all of the hydraulic lines back to the controller under the seat would make it pretty pricey. The brake calipers, lower fork legs, hubs, etc. are different also.

 

crap..thats not what i wanted to hear....

thanks for the response...I guess i will just have to wait longer

 

RITE.. ABS CANT BE INSTALLED.

JUST GET THE BIKE NOW..

F THE ABS!

 

nah..i'll wait for the ABS...its one of the reasons i went with the 08 instead of the 07....otherwise i'd be riding an 07 by now....

 

You will not regret the wait. ABS is fantastic. I have had my scoot for three months, and in the 3500 miles twice I believe ABS saved me from either hitting another vechicle or definately from locking up the brakes and possibly worse.

 

what jackja25 said. first time you jump on them they will be worth every dime you paid!

 

Wait for a ABS Ultra. You will not regret the wait first time you actually have use for the ABS brakes!

I agree with the others. Wait for the ABS model. My BMW has ABS. It saved my bacon a couple times in wet weather.

 

$795 installed at the factory only.
