Was out on a cruise today and a couple of deer decided to field test my brakes after the recall was done and they came thru with flying colors. I love the brakes on this bike they are probably the best I have ever had. The M109R Suzuki had good brakes but these are definitely better. The ease at which it pulls this big bike down is just amazing and does it so smoothly and effortlessly. I really don't think ABS would help this bike brake any better than it does already.
