I wished I could get em' for my 99.
Maybe some one will come up with em' for the older bikes?

Glad to hear you are okay.
Thanks for reporting your experience with ABS.
This technology works. Not a cure all but another tool for when you need it.
Like many I bought the ABS to keep from locking the rear brake.

Too bad the deer did not die of a heart attack-one less of the forest rats to worry about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. They are worth every penny you spend on them. I have only needed mine one time sinceI bought my 08 and hope I never have to use them again.

The ABS is the only reason I purchased a 2008, rather then a 2007. They are really worth it!

As I understand the ABS process sensors detect any wheel slippage during front and rear braking and then apply (hundreds) of on/off pluses to the brakes to keep the tires from loosing traction. Again, well worth the money.

7 pulses per second. I doubt many can do that with their brake lever or pedal!
