Yeah sib, you've just prompted me to read over my original post and I'm forced to concede that I did mention the stopping efficiency of abs versus non abs, but maintain that the thrust of the question was as to the complication of removal, I'm not seeking anyone's opinion as to whether it's a good idea or not, where my bikes concerned, that's none of your business.

I have had two painful accidents that ABS would have prevented, one left me laid up, the other left me in the hospital for a month. Then there were soiled leathers from when I could have used it. Say what you want, overall, ABS saves lives and prevents crashes, particularly in my case  :grin:

 Wait , how did I get drug into this ? :laugh: Seriously , no Huzo you didn't start this , the whole ABS thing rears its ugly head here about twice a year and always causes controversy , some swear they can always out brake an ABS system by the seat of their pants , others believe ABS is a wonderful thing . The couple of ABS equipped beemers I have ridden had pretty impressive brakes , and I'm doubtful that most folks can actually stop faster under normal conditions W/O ABS , but then maybe my 48 years W/O a real crash don't qualify me as any kind of an expert . And no , I don't poke about  :laugh:
