Good decision. I bought a 2009 Red Ultra w/o ABS and was always concerned that I may lock the wheels up in an emergency situation when riding 2 up. Just traded it in on a 2010 Limited with ABS. Would have been a lot cheaper to have paid for the ABS in the 1st place. No matter the costs, at least now I have peace of mind that I have ABS in case I need them. Riding alone is one thing but carrying you wife, daughter-in-law or grand daughter on behind you is a different story. Noy saying that something still can't happen, but at least I've done all I can to be as safe as possible including taking the MSF courses.

If you are going to tour any distance, don't leave home with out ABS.
Oh! All motorcycles are required to be BLACK.

+1 on this. Couldn't agree more. If you have the means, go Ultra with ABS.
