I too would like to see a kit to upgrade a cycle to ABS. its that little insurance that the panic stop doesn’t become a panic slide.

I have been wondering if there if there is the possibility of an aftermarket system for us who dont want to buy a new bike just to get ABS. My understanding of these systems is limited and maybe this isnt possible.

The stats of ABS riders vs. non-ABS riders probably don’t take into account that the people who shell out extra for ABS are probably more cautious in general, and therefore less likely to wreck even if they didn’t have ABS.

Still, there’s no doubt that it helps. And I don’t see anything wrong with making it mandatory. Just like with stock exhausts and rev-limiters, you can always disable them if you’re really a fiend for it.

The word “mandatory”, in association with a government trying to make legislation, just riles me.
I was raised on dirt bikes and WW2 era motorcycles, the very idea of a computer system taking control away from me is alien as can be.
But then having read some glowing reviews of the new honda abs systems, i might have to review that opinion.
