Description of the problem	The front brake lever suddenly became very hard to pull. I knew from other riders experiences with this this same problem that it was probably a problem with the abs (anti-lock brake system). My harley certified mechanic verified that the abs module had gone bad. I contacted my local harley-davidson dealer and they told me that abs module was obsolete and there was no replacement. After several calls to harley customer service i was given two part numbers that should work on my motorcycle. My mechanic has to determine which type of abs is on my motorcycle and then i have to find a dealer that can get the pert. The motorcycle is still operable but it is questionable whether or nor the abs is working. Also with the front brake lever very hard to pull it certainly leads to a potentially dangerous situation. I am the original owner of this vehicle and bought it brand new from the dealership. I feel that this condition should have been brought to my attention by the manufacturer and since it involves control and braking of the vehicle should have merited a safety recall or at the very least a technical service bulletin. If i am able to locate the correct abs module it will cost me $373. 71 - $ 481. 73 plus labor costs of installation. The motorcycle has 50,000 miles on it is garage kept and serviced on a regular basis. I feel the manufacturer should have warned me of this problem and should have replaced a critical part they knew was going to fail.
