ABS is under the right side cover and the Key Fob for the locking is seperate from the security Key Fob, what fun, 2 Key Fobs for one bike....Model Year Tech Info is at the link below...

Motor mount changes, tank won't retrofit to older bikes, seats won't' fit anything earlier......electronics moved around........calipers can't be rebuilt.....

Looks like the Legend Air suspension folks need a new location for their air compressor to mount....

After looking at the technical papers, it looks like 2008 will be a very expensive year for the aftermarket. Man, did they ever stir the pot. It looks like the exhaust manufacturers weren't affected, but Mustang and Corbin have a lot of work to do.

Speaking of the battery, you can't even see it. Although the idea of top posts sounds really good to me. The stupid wire troughs on the 07's made removal of the neg terminals a total PITA!!!!

Noticed in one of those papers it was mentioned that the Brembo calipers aren't rebuildable. Not sure how often a caliper would need to be rebuilt, but the thought of not having the ability to rebuild them and buying another one sure adds to maintenance cost.

Owners can't even bleed their own brakes with the ABS.....Digital Tech II is required.....is anyone outside the MoCo sphere able to purchase the Digital Tech??  Or will owners be required to allow some moron with a 2nd grade education to bleed the brakes on his $36,000 motorcycle...

Sounds like a good reason to do a chrome upgrade to me.  :2vrolijk_21:

That boggles the mind a bit.  Wonder if that's some CYA specification of if they really did something completely weird?  Gettign less and less interested all the time though.

If the MOCO made all these changes to the frame, it might make a safe bet the air cooled Vtwin may be around for a couple more years for this type investment?    :nixweiss:

The only way I can see of easily and most cost effective way of putting ABS on an earlier bike would be salvaging the parts from a wrecked bike?

This is another excellent reason to forget about ever thinking about this conversion. Can't lay the bike down when you have to, only the dealer can work on it. Sounds like a good set of PM, Hawg Halter or Brembo calipers are in order and that's it. Lyndall or Traxxion pads on these calipers should be all the brakes we need! ;) Hoist! 8)

Any bets on what the other downside issues on the new ABS will be?

It will be interesting to see an independently conducted, side by side comparison stop test under both dry and wet conditions.  That is what people are most interested in as far as ABS goes, and magazines likely have them scheduled already.

This part already bothers me....from the Service-Tools file in the link above.....so if I hit one of them stupid stop sign areas where they put the bumps in the road to warm me of the upcoming stop....I may not be able to stop...forget that....

Symptom::
No braking over a series of ripples
or bumps


Condition::
Normal operation - speed of ABS reaction interfacing with frequency of road conditions
signaling wheel lock up
