is it worth it

hi guys haven't been on for a while just wanted to get views on if its worth getting abs on the 2008 model bandit and how much would it cost
thanks in advance

I always like a good project but I think it would be cheaper (and safer) to trade your non-ABS and buy a factory fitted bike. From the wheel sensors, wiring loom, computer changes, I don't think you could get all the parts unless buying new. IMHO

What he said .

it is available on the bike (new was ~$500 premium over a non ABS bike) for which you'd prob pay a small amount extra for at buying time.

If you are talking about retrofitting the ABS stuff to your bike then IMO forget it unless you can pick up a wrecked bike (or all the bits and pieces - and there are lots) for less than $1.5k. If you have a non ABS and really really want a ABS bike, you should seriously consider trading or upgrading to a later model with ABS as it would be less of a hassle (unless you're into that kind of thing)

Out of curiosity I priced all the bits I could think of way back when and brand new parts was guna be over the $3k mark. I'm sure I forgot or didn't know of some of the little details/parts at the time too.

^^^^What they said^^^^

ok thanks guys i knew you would know what was the go thanks

if your going to buy a bike with ABS then so be it, other wise just learn to pulse brake in the wet or dirt in an emergency
