The antilock brake modual failed on my harley electra glide cvo. It completely made the rear brakes inoperable. The pedal is as solid as a rock. There is a recall up to the 2011 year models for this exact problem. It is obviously a safety problem because when it failed while driving I had to use the engine/clutch to safely stop. Having brakes fail from an obviously faulty part is a huge safely issue that could cause death. All models with ABS should be recalled and replaced with a better part or at minimum one that when fails does not lock your brakes out from working.

After performing several tests, I determined that the instability is caused by the front wheel. There are quite a few other people complaining about this instability issue on www.cvoharley.com as well.…
