Description of the problem	08 ultra classic anniversary issue. Same abs lockup on front brakes, as it was moved to other side of basement, when i noticed that i only had about half inch of movement. 3 weeks later, i get ready to ride and the front brake had no movement. Traced back to abs mod. These valves in the module should not lock out on a mechanical fail, the springs should force the valve spools into open position, piss poor mechanical engineering that will get someone killed if not already happened. The only difference between the two lever tests in that 3 weeks, i ran the motor for 10mins for battery charge after i moved it. I did start it up after, the locked brake, but no change. I'm lucky i checked before leaving home because my house is on a hill. Now after seeing how dangerous this situation could be, i'm thinking about having the abs system bypassed, until they mechanically re-engineered that dangerous valve module. Besides, after riding for 44yrs before this beauty of a beast, i've hated the abs system from the beginning. This is from the harley forum - "these "locked pedal or lever" abs malfunctions resulting in no brake are getting far too common. Please file your experience with the ntsb. These abs modules need to be redesigned and retrofitted at no cost before people start getting killed."
