Default ABS Question

I understand that ABS sucks up bag space. If this is true, how much space does it take up? 10%, 20%, 50%?

I would go to the dealer and look but the closest one is 2 – 2 ½ hours away.

On the 08s the ABS is behind the right side cover....no bag space taken.

Roughly 20-25% of the right bag. Not a real impact on me as I've taken it on a two day ride (the ride home from the dealer) and had plenty of room for change of clothes and extra crap.

Ditto, ditto, on the 08 is behind the side cover. I remove the bags on my 08RKC and there is no ABS there.
