Buddy was just recently telling me about a system like this. I like the idea of rear brake only. On the other hand this place is cool for learning but a dumping ground for your wallet.

 

I have them on 2 bikes and like them.

 

how long have you had them and how many ? thinking bout just doing the rear wheel , at least to start

 

I have had them now over a year, and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. In fact, I didn't replace the front ones when I upgraded to brembos. I still have the one on the rear, but like I said, not much of a difference only thing is it takes a tad more pressure to lock up the rear wheel.

 

I think that is the whole idea is to not lock up so easy , I tend to lock the rear wheel easy but allso have a hard time useing the front brake , road Wings for years and with the intergrated brakes you did not use the front brake , pm sent

 

On the fence about this, but there's an awful lot of respectable positive review info out there. Much like Dyna Beads for tire balancing, it just doesn't make sense on the surface as it seems to introduce precisely what we should all be trying to avoid. Free-floating crap in a tire should cause it to go uncontrollably out of balance, and a compressible substance in a braking system should cause it to become spongy and therefor less effective.

I've been wrong before (ask my wife!) and there's enough positive info out there, so this is something I'd be willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

 

Well I was a little Leary about the system at first, so I did what you are going to do is try it on the rear brake first. (1993 Fatboy) I noticed the difference right off the bat. It felt a little soft when you applied the brake and yet it was smooth braking. I have never been on a bike with ABS system so I can't compare. So I decided to do the front. Now the real test came on a trip to CA. The wife and I did a road trip from OR to CA. We needed to make a stop at one of the road side rest stops. I noticed that the road going into the rest stop was a hard right turn coming into the area and we trucking at 70 mph. I told the wife to hang on that we were coming in "hot". And she knows when I say hot she knows it isn't good. I was really surprised that we made it. Was it me and my riding experience or was it the Traction Control? I don't know. With her and I weighing in over 300 lbs and loaded with gear, I have to say the system worked for me. I later bought a 2006 Ultra Glide and I put the the system on front and back. Now I noticed on the Ultra when I first got it, holding the front brake at a stop light, I had to apply a lot of pressure on the lever. With the Traction Control, I apply less pressure. I am not a sales person. I am just giving you what I experienced with the system. Little spendy for something about the size of the end of your thumb but I think it works. Now will the tire still skid? Yes, in a panic stop, where you really slam on the brake. But it really takes a lot of pressure to make it do it. But like me coming into the rest stop, I had both front and back brakes applied and it never locked up on me and that is one reason why I think the system worked. Lets say our hearts were pounding when we came into the rest stop. I just knew from past experiences that the bike was going to lock up but it didn't.

Interesting R2L, interesting..

I think that this system is somewhere between the ABS and the regular breaking system then?

 

now I know I am bored and it has been a long winter so I may be over thinking this but I wounder what my ins. co. would do if I did get in a wreck after installing one of these , would they or could they use it as an excuse to deny coverage because I altered the brake system

 

I read that Geico and Progressive were doing or going to do tests on these but have not seen anything since.
I'm real close to giving these a shot, at least on the rear but need a little more to convince me.
