Description of the problem	I own and operate a 2009 harley davidson flhtcu ultra classic. While riding on the highway, exited on the off ramp and tried to use my brakes to stop at a red light. Both the front and rear brake levers were hard as a rock (inoperative) and was not able to make it function to stop the bike. I immediately down shifted and killed the engine at a slow speed to stop the bike. I contacted a friend to bring a trailer to return the bike to the house. The malfunction of the abs brakes occurred without notice and it is a hazardous condition. When i contacted the local hd dealership i was informed that they were not aware of any such malfunction on my 2009 flhtcu (even though they stated that they have replaced a few of them). They also advised that there are no recalls. When i spoke with other harley owners, i learned that this is an ongoing problem with hd bikes beginning in 2008 when abs brakes were first introduced but the manufacturer, harley davidson, does not accept any responsibility for the brake malfunction which costs over $1,000. 00 to repair. This is an issue that is a serious problem. Brake failure can have dire consequences and can result in a casualty because failure to stop on a two wheel vehicle is dangerous and can be deadly.
