Now if the bike has ABS the light flashes when the bike is below a predetermined speed, I believe it is 3 mph but don't quote me. At speeds above this I believe that it is lighted solid, and this is how you tell it is working properly.
Can I believe that a salesman miss led a buyer, YES, do I believe that there are buyers stupid enough to not know the difference,
i know salesmen 'bend the truth' a little bit, but telling someone they have abs when they don't is a bit over the top. that is something that is very easy to verify, and would then bite that dealer in the ****. now, if it is on the buyer's contract, and he does not have it on his bike, then i believe that he does have a case against the dealership, not hd. but not for the amount that they are asking for.

I don't like ABS.
However, I did not know that HD put ABS icons on models not equiped with 'em.
Don't think that is good business practice. If it is a decal, I would think it would be more cost efficient not to put them on EVERY sled.

Perhaps the dude felt the wheel lock but presumed the ABS would kick in, but it was too late before he realized it wasn't.
Just sayin', I would have released it, but maybe he was relying on it.
Interesting!
Oh never mind....
Everyone already said the same thing...

My 99 Heritage had an icon that was used for police models. You could only see it if the sun was hitting the speedo at the right angle. Whenever it did I thought I was a motorcop. Couldn't find the siren switch though.

I feel for anyone involved in a motorcycle accident.
Ok thats done!
Now. this guy rode this motorcycle for 15 months and 12,000 miles and didn't know if he had abs or not.???? the crap meter just jumped!!!
Like a lot of members has mentioned here has said, GOT TO KNOW YOUR BIKE!!!!!
Maybe the owners manual would explain about the abs light? If its on or off. I WOULD THINK SO!
Also, when you are ridin ,especially on the interstate ,aren't you lookin about 2 to3 cars ahead of you , instead of the car in front of you. JUST SAYIN.

Maybe they should just BAN shoes and hard floors!
Barefoot, rubber rooms and NO motorcycles is the answer.
Yes I have a right to be pissed. This will ultimately cost me, and you, $$$
