New brakes is it possible??
I have a 2010 Limited I keep in Boston. Here in Mexico, I have had a sporty and now a Road King. I want to change out the brakes on my RKC to ABS. It is a 2004 road king classic. Is it waaaaay to much, or not that big of a deal?
OK, for you guys that said it can't be done, I'll play and ask why not...
Are you saying it simply can't be done???
Can it be done? Yes! Is it practical and cost effective? Probably not. The most difficult part (from my perspective) would be the computer controls necessary.
There is very little that can't be done with enough resources and effort.
As a hiring manager for a large, high tech company, I use to ask..."can oranges could be grown at the north pole..."
I was amazed at the number of applicants that said..."N0!"
I would immediately end the interview as I knew that applicant had a very limited view on what was possible and what wasn't.
Our divisional VP would laugh and then remind us that the world needed trash collectors too.
Possible and not ridiculously stupid are 2 different things. I would argue that it is not possible to grow oranges in the north pole in any practical way.
In any company you need some people to stop stupid things. (and stupid interview questions)
This is why taxpayers are on the hook for paying a $7500 subsidy for each GM Volt. I and why we have ethanol. And soon a band on 'assault weapons'
I work for a large technology company, and and here's how I would think out of the box:
For less money and time, and sell or trade the bike for one that has ABS and move on. This approach has the benefit of the allowing more time to ride an spending less time dicking around with brakes.
