Been thinking about it...and as much as I want to get a FB,I just can't see myself trading in my bike for what they offered me.I was in the garage and checking it out and I still think it's cool as ****... and it's a great ride.Now don't get me wrong,I still want a FB or a Heritage but I think my best bet is to sell the SB on my own,make a few more coins,then get a new Softail or a "new" used one with a few bells and whistles from a private seller.
I kinda always knew this but was really trying to convince myself to "just get what you want and pull the trigger".I guess that was one of the resons I put it out here.
I'm still gonna check the dealer used FB out,but I'm gonna really low ball them.And if they go for it maybe I'll do the same,but if they don't, I say thanks for your time and walk out.But I won't be feeling like I didn't get what I want or worse.... that they got over on me.Thanks for everyones time.I'll keep you posted,and one way or the other I'll be going "Soft" one of these days.

If you are not in a hurry, then I would sell the Bob for more than 9K. That is getting hammered in such a short period of ownership (trades are tough sometimes).

Went back to the dealer today told him his price is too much.Long story short dropped the price to $14995.That's including my trade in on my 12 Street Bob ,$9000.The bike is sweet,and I counld'nt help getting a hardon for it.Anyway,shook hands w/the dude and walked out (BTW they had a left over stock FBL on the floor for $15,750.was digging that also) Went home and was checking my bike out.I still dig it,but those FBL's I can't get out of my head....Any further opinion's that may help...would really appreciate.Thanks.

That's not bad, though they're still kinda low on your trade. I just traded my 10 Wide Glide on a 09 Fatboy, and they gave me full KBB trade-in on mine and I paid KBB retail for the FB (that's better than most dealers I looked at). Maybe I could've gotten a little more by selling it myself, but who knows...and who knows how long it might take, then you're bikeless until you find the right used one. Besides, with a trade-in I save on taxes, so that makes up for a few bucks.
Anyway, there's more to these deals than just money. Like you say, you're really digging the Fatboy, so if you can come to terms you're happy with then a couple hundred $ won't matter in the long run.
