+1 for the ABS ectomy. Replace the rubber brake lines with SS braided and you’ll have better brake feel and never worry about the stupid ABS again. Modern ABS is wonderful, much safer and better than humans can stop you but the ABS in these bikes sucks and can cost more than the bike is worth to fix. Substitute a Lithium Ion battery for the lead weight and your bike will be ~ 23 pounds lighter up top.
