It seems like you put a bubble in your brake line...they sell different size bubbles...

Ah, wasn't this asked about before? I think someone was going to"test" it?

I think you would be better off just doing some practice stops somewhere. Get your muscle memory up to speed and keep your brakes working as they should be.

I think o4glide is dead on.  It's better to be able to "read" your brakes than to depend on a mechanical system that can fail you've gotten used to it being there.  Seems like a crutch to me.

I'm glad I'm not the only ol-timer who just doesn't like the idea of anything but me doing my braking for me. I know I can't brake as efficiently as ABS or likely as well as other gadgets either, but my reflexes have kept me alive this long, and so far, I've been able to rely on them every day without failure. The first time that I get used to relying on 'assisted braking' and they don't function properly, I just know it's gonna be a bad thing.

I know the rear wheel on my bagger locks up too easy...It has since day 1 and my friends who rode the bike say the same thing...

I agree with all of that after seeing this happen in my mirror. 105th Anniversary Ultra with ABS failure





and what stopped it


hardtail84

Wow thats some heavy damage. I can see abs on cars and trucks but on my bikes I want total control, good or bad!
It'll fit, just hit it harder!

verson22

88B , I can see he has no lever , but is that the ABS failure, a leak or what.Just curious no sarcasm intended.
