Adding abs
I have a 12 streetglide 103 without ABS I am thinking that I made a mistake my 08 streetglide had it,but got in a hurry buying this one. Well .... I am wondering if I can put ABS on my 12 with factory parts? Anyone tried this crazy feat? Thank you in advance for all your help.

nope. no can do.
if you really, really think you made a mistake, check with your dealer about trading in your bike for one with it. most of the time, you'll get raped, but every now and again you read about some lucky sob who was able to trade in his <1 yr old bike and get a new one for very little out of pocket. course, it wouldn't happen to me, but it never hurts to check.....

Often where you really get raped is the taxes. In Michigan, for example, if you trade in a car or bike, you pay the sales tax on the full amount of the new car, not just the marginal difference on the trade. Looks like California is the same way: http://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/faqpurch.htm#9

Is it reasonable to do so? Probably not unless you find a wrecked bike and can get a deal on all of the parts required.
Anyway you look at it you'd probably be ahead of the game trading in your bike for a new one.

That's not a bad choice at all. For me personally, I don't think the ABS is all that great anyway. I haven't done it yet, but I have considered disabling mine.

i think they lied. ask them how much to reflash the ecm because you've picked up all the parts from a wrecked bike and have switched them over to your bike. i bet they change their tune.
