Default Abs

Anyone try the Harley ABS brakes yet?

What are they like and how does it change the feel of the bike and brakes?

Has no one tried the HD ABS brakes? If not, why not?

I'd have thought a number of forum members would be interested in how they work and feel.

The pulse can mean stopping just in time or running out of road.

When I ordered my 2008 FLHR last year I opted for the ABS option. Sure, they pulsate when I hit them hard but no locking up or skidding what so ever. I like this option of safety since I'm a new rider, but they SQUEAL like heck when stopping majority of time at all speeds when warmed up.
