I am going to have security regardless. It's just too convenient. My '12 didn't have it and I added it. If I was buying new, I would prefer ABS.

 

you shouldn't 'feel' any difference between abs and non abs brakes unless you've locked your wheels. if your brakes are 'mushy' or 'disconnected', then i would think that there is something else going on with them.

 

I did not want ABS, I have heard both good and bad things about it but figured I rode years without, why pay an extra 1000+ for the couple times you may use it. I bought bike with only the cruise package and then bought the security unit from Surdyke for 324.00 and installed it myself and married it to the bike, then took to the dealer to have fobs programmed.

 

ABS maybe, security No.

 

Didn't have abs but did have security on my 07 SG and obviously I'm still alive and it was fine. However on my new one I will definetly have both. I think its worth the price.

 

You only have to "need" either, just one time, to appreciate them.
Especially the ABS!
Road rash and broken bones suck.................

 

Saved me once - reason enough never to buy a bike without it again...especially, if you, like me, ride in the rain

 

A++ on both. 8 weeks ago I totaled my Dyna trying to do an emergency stop in traffic. The front wheel locked and dumped me n my wife; she broke an ankle. Luckily that was all of the injuries. I think I had room to stop before hitting the @ss of a Suburban, and if I had ABS I may have stopped in time. The new RKC has both. Also an advanced rider education course is scheduled for this Spring.

 

Thanks for all of the replys....
When the time comes, Ill probaly get the package....
