You didn't get that video with your 09 Chip?

The ABS and the new frame are leaps and bounds in progress! :2vrolijk_21:  No, I'm not just saying that because I have one......I don't.  I still ride an 04 SEEG.  However, I've rode an 09 and they are a huge improvement in several areas, ABS being one of them.

The ABS should save some lives as it should make it hard to lock up and relesae the back brake causing a high side.

                                it not only stops much better   ...    it makes you feel better about stopping
                                               without a doubt worth it

 ;D :jalapen :jalapeno:  the abs system is well worth it.    Saved my hinney on 2 seperate occasions.    both times cars stopped unexpectedly in front of me. I feel both times with a non-abs would have been like the stuffed garfield on the window with 4 suction cups.   Will not have another touring scoot without it.

I think the video was also handed out with the '08's. At least I got one. Besides that, the ABS works fine and it actually makes you realize how often the non-ABS brakes would result in a longer distance to come to a stop. From a safety standpoint, it's now a must.

Ride safely,
Louis

I had a test-ride on a 2009 ultra 2 month ago and I never thought of replacing my bike before that , i love my Fatboy ( a 2007 Fatboy , modified to my personal wishes but not yet finished , put in 6k Euro in it )  .
 But after the test-ride i was convinced that i have to have THIS brake , so ...... what to do ..... searching through the h-d-models what will fit best to me and ordered it .
A must-have in my opinion , and the new frame in addition , wow . 8)

To quote the Monkey's...

"I'm a believer!"

I'll never buy a bike without them again, and we're currently looking into how my wife can handle a touring bike so she can have Cruise and ABS too.

Ride Safe,
J-Carr
