Description of the problem	I decided one morning to ride my bike down to the bmv to renew license plates. The ride down to the bmv both front and rear brakes function and operate properly. When i get back on the bike to leave, i get ready to stop just prior to entering the highway and my rear brake pedal is rock solid with no travel and no rear brakes whatsoever. I did have front breaks, but being surprised by not having any rear brakes i overcompensated my front brakes almost spilling the bike into traffic. After reading many harley davidson forums with folks who have had this same issue and having done some mechanical testing myself although i am not a certified mechanic i am convinced that the abs system malfunctioned, leaving braking dangerous. The abs unit is designed to default to normal hydraulic braking if it malfunctions, it did not default it just became in operable! This is a very deadly concern to me. I was surprised not to see complaints or action of this anywhere on your site as i read many forums complaining about this issue. Fyi, i am 56 years old and have been riding a motorcycle since i got my license at 16 years old. I log thousands of miles annually as a motorcyclist. I do not feel safe on this motorcycle especially with my wife on there. I will not ride this motorcycle again till i convert the abs to a full traditional hydraulic system. Can you confirm for me whether there have been similar complaints because maybe i just have not been in the right section to see them. Thank you.
