Question 18"/21" wheel on an ABS bike, is it possible?

I noticed it was said somewhere a while back you couldn't change the wheel size on an ABS bike, is this true or has it been done? Heard it had to do with the ABS bearing or something with the ABS pickup.

Don't have ABS but I have known several with 21's and ABS. You just have to make sure and order it that way...should be 0 problems.

A lot of after market custom wheel copamnys are coming out with ABS wheels. Like Glider said just stipulate you have ABS.

I have the 21/18 setup on my Street Glide with ABS. No issues. Took the experience rider course last month, and the ABS work as designed. You could hear them clicking in on the quick stops.
