Is there any way to get around that problem? Maybe use a toggle switch to turn off the ABS computer? Thanks, Ryan.

So as long as the line lock isn't "on" ("on" meaning the front wheels locked) the brakes will function how they're supposed to right?

I'd rather go to the trouble of installing a toggle switch so I don't have to pop the hood, get out, pull a fuse, and get back in when I want to show off in a parking lot.
