Might be able to pick up a 2010 RG at a good price but don't believe it has ABS or Cruise. Any problem (other than the cost) adding them?

 

ABS= not happening.
Cruise= no sweat, there's a kit.

 

As ThunderBueller mentioned, there is no adding ABS to a bike that does not have it.
It is a very complex computer controlled system, with an ABS pump, lines, etc.

Cruise Control is an easy option to add.

 

confirming no abs add on.

The ABS is F'ing fantastic, and I doubt I would buy another bike ( non-antique) with out it.

If you have not experienced, the abs does things we cannot do and greatly increases safety margin.
On the day that ***** turns left in front of me, I hope to be able to concentrate on picking a path to steer, while the abs does the traction control.

the abs alone would be enough to cause me to pass on an otherwise good deal ( which i did this last go-around of bike shopping, I bought the one with abs)

the H-D cruise is also pretty dandy for comfort while touring.

Tried to add it to my 09 RKC...NG..You can get the parts from HD...Period!

 

If the price is right & you like the bike - get it. Adding cruise would be simple & I hope to never have need to use ABS...

 

Have riden motorcycles for 40 years without ABS. If its a good deal dont let the non ABS stop you. Some guys still can't get used to idle/throttle cables not being on touring bikes.

 

Thanks for the replies. BTW, I've never ridden a bike with ABS, but a thread in the General forum on ABS was almost 100% in favor of them.

 

i second thunderbuellers thoughts. i like being in control of the brakes rather than something like abs. the cruise is easy and i find it essential. if you find the need for the abs, then you're already riding above the road conditions, that's my thought on it, and i've had a bmw with abs, thanks anyway, i don't want anything to do with it. they now have the option of an air bag on the goldwings, go figure.....

 

Yep, plus 2..
