You will die a fiery death without ABS, bikes can not be stopped without it, it is a must have or you will surely die. They should recall all non ABS bikes for obvious reasons.
I sold my 07 FLHTC to buy an 08 FLHTC with ABS. It works very well and saved my bacon twice last year. First time with a bear on a sand covered road. Second time was two deer jumped in front of me in light rain. It worked fine and allowed me to concentrate on steering around the animals. I won't have another bike without ABS.
I would not get a bike without it. I was out on a group ride last weekend and there was a collision between two of the bikes because one of the bikes locked up his brakes trying to stop. He became the poster child for ABS for everyone there.
seems like an easy decision based on the folks replying. I have it on mine, have used it and can't imagine not having it.....spend a few extra $$ and get abs...won't regret it, hope you don't have to use it.
