Default ABS = Aftermarket ??

Question came up last night while talking to a friend. Has anyone come up with an aftermarket set up for ABS on the Touring HD's? I did an advanced search on the topic and really did not find anything so I am posting the question here.

Thanks

I would guess that the cost of the equipment and getting it to communicate with the computer would prohibit that.

I doubt that will ever happen. For any manufacturer. LIABILITY

Cost alone will prevent that from happening.

I'm pretty sure you cant even get it added at the dealer. I think the bike has to come with it from the factory.

There is a product called TCB(Traction Controlled Braking) that is supposed to control braking. There have been threads. Pro's and Con's like everything else.

It does have to come from the factory with ABS. I bought an 09 EGC and later wanted ABS. Ask the Dealer about having it installed. He said no way!

If you could get it, it would still be probably be cheaper to get a new bike
