[QUOTE="Ludwig61, post: 1445110, member: 87415"] All of the discussions I've seen have said the 2006+ is a different unit and implied they cannot be substituted. Neither am I aware of any pattern of failure of 2006-2007 ABS units rear brake functionality as with the 2005. That alone suggests a significant difference. I would also want to review the electrical connectors, brake line connections, and mount points before considering that swap. Lastly, I'd want to sample the communication channels while riding and needing the ABS on a functioning 2005 and a functioning 2006 to make sure the communication to the unit follows the same patterns. That said, the easiest workaround if OP has an ABS model with nonfunctioning rear ABS (easy to test) is to avoid using the rear brake or use it lightly. You get over 80% of your stopping power from the front wheel, so you're not giving up much compared to slacking off on the front brake. [/QUOTE]
