What the heck is ABS technology?
Anti-lock braking system technology is a facility that provides maximum braking effect in the vehicles by preventing locking of the wheels in all weather situations.
Simplified...when brakes are applied, the wheels will not get locked up, therefore two-wheeler skids and falls and/or crashes are reduced significantly. There are some studies that report a decreasing trend of head-on, rear-end and pedestrian crashes in those vehicles fitted with ABS technology as compared to vehicles minus the ABS technology.
Furthermore, through ABS technology there will be increased control of the bike and it would give increased on-road stability; whether on race tracks or on the highways.
Indian road conditions are generally prone to skids and crashes, and to prevent bikes from crashing, ABS technology has proved to be of great success. It also gives the rider, enhanced control of the vehicles as the wheels don't get locked upon brake application under emergent situation.
By now, it has become an established fact that anti-lock braking system serves two-fold purposes. One on application of brakes, the technology allows the driver to maintain the steering control and second to shorten the breaking distance so that the driver is not afraid of skidding on application of brakes in any emergent situation.
Anti-lock braking system was first developed for aircrafts. The first ABS fitted ground vehicle was a car; Ford Granada Mk3. Anti lock braking technology is one that's worked over and over since the 1930s. A typical ABS will consist of an electronic unit, four-speed sensors, hydraulic valves (either two or more) on the brake circuit. It is the electronic unit that monitors the wheel rotation and senses whether any wheels is rotating slower.
On high traction surfaces, ABS equipped motorcycles will benefit from shorter braking distance. In gravel and snow bikes with ABS technology reduces the possibility of loss of control of the vehicle and can assist to lock multiple wheels at a time.
In India, TVS Motor Company has manufactured indigenous ABS technology for its two wheelers and has applied for the patent of the same.

My riding habit is of a bit high-rpm pickup, and being on above average speeds on different road condition.. I mean to say i use brakes a lot..
The answer is yes (And if you are a very good engineer you can do that) but has a condition. The brakes need to be fluid controlled (not mechanical) .
And as drum brake's efficiency reduces with prolonged use, so you will need to adjust and callibrate the microchip every now and then.
TVS did it indegineously on both disks, Go home,. Give all your time, and dedication of your team to make that.
PS- It would cost more than installing dual disks and ABS and a BIKe with ABS... :D
Stupid curiousity of stupid people.
Could we fix ABS in non ABS bike (Hero Xtreme 2014 dual disc). If yes, then Please let me know the cost and from where it could be done.

Even as far as fitting a ABS system to a bike with hydraulic disc brakes is concerned, it is not a very good idea, since the ABS has to be designed for each vehicle considering it size, weight, wheelbase, etc,etc. Moreover, it uses a computer to operate it and time d gap in operating tue front and rear brakes simultaneously. Also, since most of the motorcycles having ABS also generally have a fuel injection system, therefore to cut coats, the manufacturers tend to integrate the ABS computer into the main CPU unit that also controls the fuel injection unit. Therefore, not only would have to buy the entire computer unit of the donor bike, but it would take an electronic wizard to get it to work without hampereing the operating system of the bike it is to be fitted on. Ofcourse, bikes with a carburetor don't need a computer to operate, but still the ABS unit would need signals from the donor bikes CPU.
