I repair ABS modulators for motorcycles and am concerned about the cost of new modulators. Honda's retail for an ABS1 modulator is around $2200.00 according to some of the on-line parts suppliers. I receive a steady flow of modulators for repair, often both are malfunctioning. Add some labor to two modulators and the cost can easily hit $4500.00 which might exceed the value of many of the ABS1 ST1100's. For the average rider, this should be a deal breaker for these bikes, right?
That would be a very unhappy state of affairs but the reality is that it is very likely that both modulators will fail at about the same time because they operate under the same conditions. That's what I see from customers.
I'm wondering how others feel about the threat to my favorite motorcycle?
Please get the word out that replaced/surplus ABS1 modulators, working or not, should not be thrown away. Please!
