Before you get nailed hard by other folks... the device I think you are talking about does NOT work. They will only make your brakes spongy and less effective. They are considered junk. We all want to believe but let this one just wither on the forum. Aging is scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker!
 
Chris, do you have a link? I used to use a device called a "Safety Braker" back in the 70's that went on the brake line. It was not ABS but did help quite a bit on my GT750 and later GS1000 Suzuki.

If it sounds too good to be true.....price it accordingly. I want to believe, yes, but not on the subject of cheap braking. Foam in your intake, yes. Another thing to go wrong on your brakes...thanks, no. Someone wants to buy and report, I'll listen. But until then color me skeptical. http://millerized.com/pegs I'll be in the garage

Found a review. http://www.thebikergene.com/modifications/product-review-traction-control-braking-systems/ The skinny of the interview was that they really couldn't tell it was installed. It didn't make their brakes feel spongy but they didn't notice any real difference in lockup either. So, sounds to me like a boondoggle.
 
Um, like someone please tell me how that can even work. Am I missing something. I see the goal is to regulate pressure applied to the calipers. But how does it know how much pressure to regulate to. Seems that wet versus dry, those gang white painted crosswalk lines, dirt/gravel, etc are all going to make a difference in how much pressure should be applied to the calipers to prevent lockup. OR am I missing something. They call it Traction Control Braking, but how does it know if you have traction or not since it cannot monitor wheel spin activity. 2003 Concours, 56K COG #6953 IBA 28004 http://home.comcast.net/~slybones/Concours/connieMain.htm

The device does not regulate pressure - it's not ABS. When you are braking, the braking pressure goes way up when the wheel locks up. I noticed this on my GT750 with the big heavy rotors and wheel. The "safety braker" device only responds to the spikes in pressure. The thing I had had pressure on both sides of the piston and some gizmo to make it work. This device looks like it uses air pressure. It doesn't do much, but I don't see it hurting.
