Can I add ABS to Non ABS 2013 - HWdesign_imp - 03-27-2020
hi
I have a non ABS 2013 and I am exploring what would be involved to add ABS to it.
Any advise would be welcome. It's probably not worth it but I thought I would ask.
thanks
HW

The change to ABS would entail about $2500 worth of different parts. The modulator alone is over $1000, plus you'll need a different caliper, wire harness, and many misc smaller items. Not including the meter, another $600 if you want the indicator on the dash. Plus labor. About the price of a good used ABS model.

thanks I figured as much. Do you know if there is a caliper that would replace the stock that would be better.

Curious, what about the brakes do you not like?
RE: Can I add ABS to Non ABS 2013 - HWdesign_imp - 03-27-2020
The pads are basically new and the grip, especially on the rear is soft. I'm used to them but I was curious if I had any options.

Can you by chance better define "soft"?

I think it’s fair to say the general consensus on the forum is that the front brakes on the CB1100 are excellent and the rear is adequate.
RE: Can I add ABS to Non ABS 2013 - Guth_imp - 03-27-2020
Not quite helping though Cormanus. I know that some were soft in that they couldn't even lock up their rear brakes if they tried while others have no problem doing so at all if experimenting (myself included). So I was wondering where HWdesign fits into this spectrum from the perspective of both his front and rear brakes.

You might try bleeding the rear brake.

Do this first. At least 4 of us had air in the rear brake from the factory. But its still not as good a brake as the fronts.
