Trike ABS

[Tango]

Is CSC the only maker that makes ABS available in their trike kit? Tom

Tango I don't tthink you got many answers because most do not ABS the trike conversion. You say CSC does, I wonder how they are picking up the signal?

FWIW....DFT retains the Honda ABS functionality on their conversions.....they use all the stock brake system components.
Just a FYI...DFT has just announced their winter "Madness" sale....$1500 retail price reduction off any of their conversion kits effective December 1, thru February 14, 2010.
Have a great Holiday!

Yes that makes sense since the DFT has the original rear Honda brake system it would work . That sounds like a great deal also. Love my DFT

Thanks. Hadn't looked at them. I wonder if that means only one rear brake? VS. the other makes two. Tom

One instead of two rear brakes? Sort of....since the system is still stock, there is really not such a thing as "all rear" or "all front" brake. The system is linked and applying rear brake pedal initially activates a single rear caliper piston and two left front caliper pistons followed immediately by activation of the two remaing rear caliper pistons and one right front caliper piston. DFT only adds 185# to the bike so braking effeciveness is excellent, just as on a bike. As on a bike, there's much more braking power from the front brakes than from the rear simply because of rear to front weight transfer...just because it's a trike doesn't change that.... <br />
JMHO.......(and experience riding DFT trikes for 9 years!!)<br />
