Not sure I would even go that way but I want to no my options with the ABS if I decided to change the tire size and spend a bunch of money on rims. I personally don't want the 17 inch chrome wheels if you can't see them behind the rotors.

On the flip side I may go with the 360 brakes any way and then the ABS isn't a factor but I need to figure out which way I am going to go with or without ABS.

What's your opinion on the ABS? Would you get it?

Here in El Paso (Barnett) they said they were up in December. But I know they do a lot of online sales. They are wicked expensive to me and I am definately looking out on the town for my new one. I can find an 07 FLTR for like 15 on town with no miles vs. a 2008 for 18+

Plenty of bikes out there on the floor. What do you think is going to happen in 7 months when the 2010's hit the floor? Are we going to see some deals on the 09's?

If in fact you do purchase your bike from my dealer, I'd appreciate a heads up. If in fact it was my post that turned you on to the dealer, I'll get MVP points for the reference.
