Harley now offers ABS and security for Dynas, but I don't see them very often in the showroom. Do they not sell?

I'd love to pick up a fatbob with ABS, but I don't want to pay the dealer 17k to special order something.

 

I've got one. I'm in the Va Beach area and Fat Bobs don't seem to be too popular in this area, so that may be why you aren't seeing any with the extras of ABS/security. It was worth it to me for the ABS - obviously some don't like the ABS system.

 

They do in Australia. We don't have a choice, they come standard with ABS and alarm. Street bob price is about $23k.

Off topic: my dog chewed through the ABS wire at the front wheel last week. At $100 a pop and 2 hours work to change I hope he doesn't get a taste for ABS.

 

Same thing at my dealer. My wife's dyna w/abs was transferred from another dealership.

I bet there aren't many on the floor because they sell well.

 

Its standard on all new Harleys here in the UK too.

I've ridden two Harleys with ABS and wasn't greatly impressed. I've had a couple of other bikes with ABS (a Yamaha and a BMW) and both had noticeably better braking for having ABS, whereas the Harleys seemed no different from non-ABS. I even tried to get the ABS to kick-in by braking on some gravel and the wheels just locked up every time I tried.

Basically, Harley brakes tend to be pathetic anyway and adding a cheapo ABS doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.

 

I have ABS and Security on mine. ABS came in really handy last season when a deer jumped out in front of me with my wifey.. just sayin

 

Here in San Diego, at SD Harley it seems like every bike that can have ABS does have ABS. Im all for technology, but Im kinda glad my Fat Bob doesnt have it. Changing handle bars in ABS bikes gets REALLY expensive real quick when going taller than stock.

 

Mine came with ABS and security, I had to add the alarm siren myself.

Not sure if I like the ABS, my back brake doesn't work nearly as well as the one on my Sporty does.

 

I hate that you can't get security without ABS. Brake operation aside (which has admittedly saved my butt at least once), your options for modifications are very limited because of the placement of the control unit.

Take a look at my post on the trouble I've had with passenger footpegs, exhaust mods, and shocks because of ABS: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/11076150-post2.html
