Retrofit ABS
Has anyone ever done of heard of retrofitting ABS to an '07 Ultra?
I'm planning to do (if weather permits) a good number of miles and during the harvest months there will be some mud and veggies on the road. Not taking any risks or trying to be cool about it I was wondering if adding the anti lock system to the bike would give me some hard needed additional safety. But as I'm not sure if it's possible/affordable. The bike has already got the speedo with the ABS light as stock item. Thanks from a wet and windy England

Re: Retrofit ABS
What you can and can't do is only limited by your wallet. In this case a change of wheels, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and the associated ABS units and some other parts would be needed. I would say that it may end up being cost prohibitive to do.

Re: Retrofit ABS
I don't think you need to worry. People do just fine without ABS. I would spend more of my time learning how your brakes feel and act in different situations.
