Default Traction controlled braking

Has anyone out there installed traction controlled braking on their dresser? If so what are the pro's and con's? It sound's like a great upgrade if it works.

Here's a thread about the TCB brake system. One guy with an FLHX installed one on the rear only and loves it.

I had units on both the front and rear calipers on my 2007 Fatboy and liked the braking improvement. It made it more difficult to lockup the front brakes, which I really liked. I currently have a 2008 Ultra with the ABS braking system that I like as well.

Go for it, you will like the improvement.
