I don't know how they work, but it would take 3 of them for the valkyrie. It says to replace the banjoe bolts with them, 2 front and 1 rear.   Thats quite expensive if they don't work.

You can get the same effect by keeping air in your  brake lines and it doesn't cost a cent

Sounds like smoke and mirrors to me.

Peak braking occurs just before the tyre starts to skid and that is what ABS brakes sense. What these appear to do is prevent the brakes from ever locking and the tyres skidding so that is good if they hold it at the peak braking point but I don't see how any purely mechanical device could do that and so your stopping distance would be longer.

If they really worked I am sure the accountants at the major car firms would have them fitted instead of ABS and save a few bucks in vehicle manufacture.
