That is SO not going to happen.Hopefully, Honda will be smart and have a kit available for those of us that own a Fury already and would like to upgrade it to ABS.
It would definitely help on wet pavement.The brakes on my Fury are working just fine....what do I need an ABS for......?????? I'm good with what I got....
Honda said from the start they were going to have ABS, when you add ABS you add more plumbing plus the pulser rings, pickups, another moduleFrom the US website...

You can see (barely) the new calipers but what's with the spaghetti brake lines!!!
Those numerous front brake lines look horrible. You would think that they would find a way to bundle them together.From the US website...

With the (non-ABS) linked brakes on my blackbird, since the 'rear' brake pedal also controls one pair of the 6 pistons clamping on the front brake rotors, there needs to be a separate brake line running from the rear brake master cylinder (through a proportional valve) to the front brake, hence the 'extra' front brake hose.From the US website...

On the VFR, when using front brakes only, the bike squats, instead of nose diving. Other than that, their operation is "invisible".Now you'e got my attention! How would you describe the operational experience of your Blackbird's LBS contrasted to conventional brakes ???
Almost all of the time I use the front brake only (on any bike). Not a good habit, I know, but a better habit than using the rear brake only.Now you'e got my attention! How would you describe the operational experience of your Blackbird's LBS contrasted to conventional brakes ???
garc:I would also like to see some data on braking in a corner since this is where my breath taking momentshave occurred.
