Ya.
And what were they thinnking when they put hydraulic brakes on bikes?
Darn whipper snappers.

 

I think buying a new bike without ABS, now that it's available, is just silly.

 

&nbsp\\;Pesonally I'd wait and get one with ABS. It's worth it for the peace of mind if nothing else. Better to never need it than to need it and not have it.&nbsp\\; Try another dealer and see what they can come up with. Being your are in The peoples republic of California pickings may be slim. I hear the 09 Street Glides or coming out with some new colors om them (rumors?) and&nbsp\\; no telling what else.Don't settle, get what you want the first time.

 

First off you can see the majority of us enjoy and ABS and wouldn't go back to our bikes without!&nbsp\\; You might need to do what I did...Go around and look at dealers...make calls...find out who have your bike with ABS!&nbsp\\; DO NOT RELY ON YOUR DEALER SAYING NO!&nbsp\\; If you want t owait...that's your decision...but look for yourself also.&nbsp\\; Also look on the net...you can' buy bikes over the net and there are a number of very reputabe ones who you can deal with over the net and they'll ship it to you!&nbsp\\; Good luck and keep us informed.&nbsp\\; Mike

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Well Nick,&nbsp\\; I had the same issue almost.&nbsp\\; I was ordering a new EGC and could not figure if I wanted tp spend the extra $750.00 on the ABS.&nbsp\\; Best $750.00 I ever spent.&nbsp\\; But I did ask myself if I was out riding with my wife or kids on the back and I low sided due to a rear break lockup. and some body got hurt or killed could I live with the fact that I did save $750.00.&nbsp\\; Financed over 48 months its about $12.00 a month. Cheap insurance!!!!!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; GET THE ABS[sm=smiley20.gif]

My .02 cents is wait for the 09 with ABS or keep looking for a 08 with ABS. you should be able to find a 08 with ABS, you may just have to travel a bit to get the bike! I have the ABS on my 08 Ultra, have not had the ABS activate yet, but have the piece of mind to know the set up is there if I need it. I believe it will add to the resale value as well.

ABS baby!!!Regards,Tom

 

That's probably why they are discounting the bike in question, because it doesn't have ABS.&nbsp\\; I would wait.

 

I would and am waiting for ABS.
