Has anyone looked in to or had success adding ABS brakes to their classic Goldwing?
Thoughts on the subject?

ABS like linked brakes on 83-2000 you give up some elements of control,as you can't apply rear brakes only.You get both a front,& rear brake about 60-40 front to rear, with rear brake applied.Pretty good safety feature on pavement,many of the bikes brought to me for brake work,have good front brake's on the caliper with front brake only.Showing some people use only the rear brake lever,not really the best.But years ago many people were afraid to use rear brake as rear end comes around pretty easy with rear only brakes. GRAVEL & DIRT roads are the only place I do not like the linked brakes,& as both front brakes wear about the same on my bikes, they are great,but I use both brakes.

You're most likely right, while I don't think it is impossible to add ABS it is most definitely not in my budget or skill set
