disabling abs to allow for single front rotor?
I have a 08' road king classic with abs and want to go to a single front left rotor to show off a larger rim. is there any WRIGHT way to do this without causing saftey concerns or is it not possible to do unless u disable the whole abs system?

you are considering getting rid of an extremely safety related feature, to show off a rim?????? have you ever HAD to use your abs. By that I mean locking up the brakes at 55 mph? if you end up needing to do that before you get rid of them, i guarantee you'll keep the abs.
just my opinion

didnt want to sacrifice saftey...but thought i could oversize the front left brake and still keep the abs...? i have engaged the abs b4 and it was nice..but what about all the previous bikes that never had abs b4? seemed to work for them. im not biased ever way...just wanted to c if it could b done.

If I had the ABS system, there's no way I would disable the system just to show off the wheel JMHO.

It's your bike, do what you want.
It's a bad idea.
My license plate is 37M8. Please don't ever ride behind me.
I've been rear ended before by riders who didn't know how to ride/stop etc.
