[Wrongway]

I wonder if the ABS is going to take up a good portion of the saddlebag?

I'm thinking that is why only a 40 watt stereo is offered! The ecm for the brakes is under the tour pak, where the amp is on the 06 and 07.

The press release says that ABS will be an option for all touring models though.  Not all touring models have a tour pak.  The leather tour pak shown with the SE Road King is a detachable.  So it's a good bet the ABS hardware isn't under the tour pak on that bike.

This sounds interesting:

"New dual control heated seat with passenger backrest and complementary adjustable rider backrest "

I remember being in Daytona and one of the CVO reps came over and asked me a whole bunch of questions about my seat.

That was pretty freaking personal of him.

This is going to be cool:

"New power locking system with remote/barrel key fob"

I guess this means the key is intergrated into the fob with a button in the center. Too cool... I want one.

I wonder if the ABS is going to take up a good portion of the saddlebag?

Just read this article (link for cite at bottom).  Control unit under right side cover.  Front and rear brakes not linked. Rotation sensors in magnetic spacers next to wheel bearings.  Lots of good detail here:

The Harley system maintains separate operation of front and rear brakes. Steel braided lines run unobtrusively from both master cylinders to a controller unit located under the right side panel, then back to the brake rotors. If the wheel sensors detect lockup, the control unit pulses the brakes up to seven times per second to prevent the wheels from locking up.

As with the throttle, Harley paid a lot of attention to the styling, as well as the performance. You have to look carefully, and know where to look, to see any visual evidence of the ABS system. Not only are the additional brake lines well hidden, but Harley also put great effort into making the wheel sensors unnoticeable.

"It's totally invisible and that was an important part of the system," said Harley Director of Product Communications Paul James.

The sensors operate using magnetically encoded rings in the wheel bearings. Harley showed us the parts to demonstrate how they work. The two metal rings look like thin spacers. I let them clamp together by magnetic force and turned one with my hand. The two rings "click" in steps as the magnetically encoded spots interact. That's what sends signals to the ABS control unit without the need for a big, external sensor that would detract from Harley's traditional styling. Looking at the wheel alone, there's no way to tell if the motorcycle has ABS or not.
