The '09 keeps eating at me and I keep saying I'm happy with my '08 but...obviously not. My family just told me to go get the '09 and get it over with. So I'm gonna.

Yep, I will be buying an '09 Street Glide this month (Nov). Will be paying cash for it...hope I get a good deal. This will be my 3rd new Harley in one year (same dealer). LOL
I'm pretty excited. I'm gonna build it just like the one I have now...same color and everything. Will do different wheels, probably PM, they will be black though. Not sure which engine build...SE 110" or an HQ 107", will be one or the other.
Curious what pipes are out there for the '09. I love my T-Rex pipes, hate to see them go.
Man, I cant wait. Be looking for my current SG to be on sale after I get a little maintenance done on it.

Nope, everything is going with the '08...not selling anything off of it, nor taking off for the '09.

Now that you've had time to make the decision on the '09, what's the reason for selling such a new and loaded 08?
Is it the new frame design? That's about the main difference I can see in the 09 vs what you stated in the 08's description and the fact that you just got through modding the 08 to what you wanted.
I'm asking because I've been looking at barely used high quality bikes (Road King Classic) but have not pulled the trigger yet. I also have cash-in-hand and for me to fork out approx 23K+ on a new 09, I'd like to be quite sure of this decision.

I rode the 09 touring line and I thought it was outstanding. By far the best bike HD has ever built. I like the FLHX best.
I have an 06 in perfect condition and I love it. If I had the extra cash I would trade up to the 09. The frame, the gas tank, the transmission, the engine, the larger front wheel and the wider rear all make for an excellent bike.
If you are going to buy the 09 is by far the best.

Thanks guys...
The reason I want the 09 is for all the reasons that have been discussed already...wider tire, better gearing, new frame, new IDS, etc...(aren't the bags a little bit bigger too?), all in all just a better built Street Glide and I'm in a position to buy a new one.
My dealer pretty much insulted me today when they said they would only knock off about $2000 off an already inflated price. They want $25k+ out the door and only willing to come down the $2k (if I'm lucky and the GM/owner approves it). This is my 3rd new bike within 1 year time frame. Sorry, but you can do better than that.
