    Congrats! on wheels,
    Initially you might experience slight difference. However, on the run, will actually get used to it. Hope you have watched the video that came along, which details as to how to install.

    Make sure the mechanic install in your presence.

    Not a whole lot knows about this.

        So we need to get it installed from someone professional like a mechanic or a service centre? Dont they crib about warranty as usual, planning to get this installed on my front Disc brake which skids badly on wet roads.

            Is the installation easy?
            This is for my HH Hunk and frond disc of course. But I think, it can be good in rear disc.

                  I have been using the Saferide ABS for about 6 months now on my P220 FI. It is doing its job pretty well.

                  A small review:
                  The Saferide ABS is technically not an ABS. It is a small pressure regulating pump. Upon application of brakes it pulsates the fluid pressure. It actually decreases the bite of the brakes & spreads it over a range. For the maximum braking u need to press more & for normal braking u need to press little.

                  The P220 FI has pretty bad rear brake probably due to hard compound Zappers which they used to come with. Till certain pressure the rear brake doesnt work effectively & after which it locks the wheel instantly. My experience has been really good with the Saferide ABS on the rear brakes. Now i have better control of it. I can sense the feedback & then adjust my braking power accordingly. Hence very less rear lockups even while hard braking.
                  Coming to the front brakes. I brake REALLY hard at times squeezing only the front lever. Here also the Saferide ABS has come to my rescue many times. I dont have frequent lockups. Since it regulates the fluid pressure by pulsating it i can confidently brake even under panic struck situations! Another major advantage for me has been braking while turning, especially cornering. Yes u can do it!

                  Although this doesnt safeguard u totally against wheel lockups, it prevents them by regulating the fluid pressure. The front lever becomes a bit spongy & u can use the brake over a wider range. In simple terms u have more control over the brakes. This is really a good option for people upgrading from drum brakes to disc brakes so that they get used to the sharp bite of the discs. Without this u need to be gentle on the lever which is not actually possible always, atleast for the people not used to disc brakes.

                  When people can spend about 12k+ on complete riding gear for safety, then yes this is worth the 1200 bucks spent which only increases your safety!

                  PS- Iam not a promotor of it. If you wish to argue do not expect a reply from my side. I have had enough of it! Further queries are welcome.

                    Anti_lock Braking System

                    I have been using this product from last one year on my Electra bullet. Really awesome product.

                    I fitted it from my local mechanic. Gave him all the directions and details. He installed it in front disc brakes in just half hour. Just needed to top-up the brake oil in reservoir.

                    It is really impressive and there is just one drawback. Once it comes in day-to-day usage, handling other non-ABS bike with disc brakes become dangerous. I will give 4 out of 5 for safety enhancement of the bike due to this product.

                    From rahul9985: I am also not promoter of the product.

                      This installation will need not require any professional mechanic. The kit comes with installation instructions along. Any mechanic shall understand.

                      Warranty issues, I have no idea if this would affect.

                        All right. I mostly use front discs so will get that fitted on the front disc only, planning to buy it soon. How much time does delivery take?

                        Bro, you got it fitted on both discs? I have had pretty bad experiences with the front disc bite over wet surfaces, even in the panic situations i always used front brakes sharply, almost managed to fall down on Day 2 of my bike but somehow got saved.
                        I will get this thing fitted on front discs, under hard braking i use rear very late.
                        Nice little review, so this thing does help. Gonna invest in it, spending 1.5k wont hurt more than getting your bike repaired at PBK.

                        I saw one video yesterday and it looked easy, just a little help would be required for newbies.

                          Yeah iam using them on both discs. Its worth the moolah spent.

                          I can advice u a bit on braking. Whenever u have to brake hard always use rear brakes first. As soon as the forks dive in, squeeze the front lever. Upon using the rear brakes first the bike stops accelerating & the weight shifts to the front & the weight on the front tyre increases. Hence due to more traction it grips better.
                          If u directly squeeze the front lever without letting the forks dive in the front tyre tends to skid. The reason being the front tyre is carrying much lesser weight & hence traction which it offers is less. So the tyre skids & may lead to a fall as well.

                          Intially u may be uncomfortable but keep on practicing & u will soon brake better.

                            DIY ABS Simulation

                            Even am using this so called ABS for the pas 6 months, but its not from Saferides, from KRP, a chinese product.

                            Performance wise, I would say there is difference, it gave me more confidence while hard brakings but after 6 months, I am doubtful about that as am not feeling that cushioning effect while braking. I paid 1K for the device and there's no warranty for this product.

                            Its my opinion about the KRP, not the Saferides.

                            DIY ABS Simulation

                            Coming to the point, The day one I bought my Pulsar, I asked the SC to reduce the braking power, but they were helpless as its not possible like in the drum brakes.

                            But now, those who want to experience the effect of this ABS to a certain extent, I've a tip for you. To be precise, for those who want to reduce the braking power of the disk brake there is a way which I found while am fixing the " KRP ABS". When I got this hifi thing, I called up the mech to fix it, but he was so busy with other works and I just cant wait till next day. As a DIY guy, to hell with him, I will try myself, I decided to proceed without a mech. I unscrewed the fluid hose from the caliper and tried to fix the adaptor which came along with the "KRP ABS" where the ABS to be mounted, but unfortunately its got a wrong thread, so I've to send it back for a replacement. So much of frustration and feeling cheated, I wrote KRP to replace it and got replaced within 2 weeks, after a chain of followups by mail as well as Phone. We must appreciate the way they've taken up the matter and solved it no time A$$ H@%$

                            In the meantime, I've fitted the fluid hose back to the caliper to its original state, and as a rule of thumb, I tried to release the air bubbles from the master cylinder. But there too I was unlucky, my grease nut was in rusty condition and was refusing to unscrew, My timely proper maintanence may be the reason So I decided to leave it there and take help from the mech. No No Hell with him, guys, we need these guys help to get out the mess I've created Next day my mech also tried to unscrew but to use. By this time, the face of the nut's been changed to oval or round or so due to the rigorous attempts of mine and my mech. All these times by brake lever will kiss the handle bar like am cutting cheese, and there's hardly no brake at all. My mech also gave up the idea of letting the air bubbles, telling that we may need to weld the tip of the nut and try to unscrew. But before that we need to get a new screw to fix it back, so I set out for the puchase, on the way, I had a chance to hard brake, but first attempt, it went as smooth as previously, got panic and may be by luck or by reflex, I tried to brake continous pumping of 2-3 times and IT WORKED... WOW I was regaining the brake power by pumping I didnt get the grease nut for a week, during these times, I used to paractice this pumping technique. And one more thing, day by day the frequency of pumping was reduced as the bubbles were released by this pumping action. Within one week driving with this tip, I got the full brake power back. But I was not comfortable with the stock state, I was pampered with my old pumping setup, believe me, If u need to brake hard too, just 2-3 pumping will be enough to get the result, only thing is u should get used to it. So next day I pulled out the hose again, emptied a few drops of fluid and fitted back, Aha........, I got my Whacky DIY ABS is functioning again.

                            So guys, if u wanna try an ABS simulation just follow this, and dont worry nothing will happen, as it will restore to the original state within a weeks time provided, depending on ur braking style. If I didnt get a replacement from KRP, defnitly I would've gone for my OWN DIY ABS.

                            I request all of u guys to leave ur courtsey for this novice DIY ABS here

                            Well, I've more to share like these types of WHACKY DIY MODS, in due course, stay in tuned...........

                            Next......... Hmmm... let it be there for some time, need to enjoy the feed backs first

                            I hope our mods will make it sticky to the DIY mods threads
