Slight correction, I may still motor around the hood on the Shovelhead until it is sold, and I won't go touring without ABS! As to your question of the loan, the Shovel doesn't like to be ridin' nicely. So sorry.

NO. front brake is the main stopping power. so don't wait for accident, be brave ride yur bike 70 mph and hammer on yur front brake. if u can learn to control that with slight rear brake presser u will stop very quicky. that's if time dosen't kill u to hit something. personally abs is just faults illusion. rain, gravel, sand, speed, deers, trucks, cars abs isn't going to help. i have road king no abs brakes, i can stop my bike very quicky at 70 mph. just remember once that front wheel loses traction yur done. abs or not.
Incorrect. This is exactly what ABS is designed for; maintaining control. The naysayers don't like it because they don't understand it and/or don't know how to use it. The advantages of ABS far outweigh any disadvantages.
