I have checked the VIN on my 14 trike on Harley's site and I have no active recalls. I believe it only on the bikes.

Yes, it is only on some of the bikes with ABS, the Tri-Glides do not have ABS.

Thank god for that. I don't like ABS - on bikes or cars.
I think ABS is for drivers who don't know how to drive. I feel more comfortable in my stopping ability then relying on a machine to do it for me.

I saw a demonstration years ago with a bike with ABS and outriggers. It was amazing how much safer the bike with ABS was in a stopping situation. It's not only stop quicker but it stayed upright. ABS has proven time after time to be a most effective way to stop a vehicle in a timely manner. Studies have shown that the drivers that have problems with ABS and cars is the fact they try to pump on their brakes instead of letting the ABS do their job.
