Made a BIG mistake

Answer these questions...
1) Can I afford it?
2) Will I get my money out of the bike I am selling considering the add-ons?
3) Did I take my wife for a test ride to see if she liked it?
4) Will you be pussified now that you are going bagger? (cheap pile-on )
Compile your answers and then do what you want.
Seriously, the wife being happy has some merrit to it. I had a 06 fatboy dragonfly green. Wife loved it. I put her on the back of the 09 EG Standard, and she just went off. She hated it, said she couldn't tell the difference. It took a good 4 months for her to admit the ride was much more comfortable and far superior for her.
So good luck

Well when I bought my FB a few years ago, I just didn't get the whole touring bike thing. But it didn't take too long to figure out a SG was what I wanted. So I found an 06 back in August at a dealer with ~2K miles on it. Damn thing looked like it rolled right off the showroom floor. I got it for a good price with a trade in of my wife's bike so I did the deal.
And boy do I love that bike. Sure, it's not the latest and greatest with the frame upgrade. But it sure makes me smile. I still get on the FB from time to time, but it's the Glide that is getting the most use. 4600 miles in 3 months.

If you have not previously owned a fairing bike, if you are like me, once the newness wears off you will be longing for your old Dyna. On the other hand, if you are losing sleep thinking about the SG then you better go ahead and get it and get it out of your system. You can always buy another real Harley.
It really sucks because it is so pretty there in the spring and its going to get closed to through traffic.

SG's are old news,(yeah, I said it) just get an Ultra or EG and make things detachable. Trust me, you'll be in my shoes before you know it, and spending to make it wife-comfy. Call BS, or call me a liar, now, but you'll be kicking yourself later!
Mark my words, mark my words.

Yep, went in looking for a Electraglide Standard; but wanted cruise and a stereo. Price was comparable to an Ultra. Got the Ultra with detachable stuff.
This time of year is great for the buyer...so good luck selling your bike and throwing a leg over another one. Street Glides are sweet for sure.

I would love to keep my Dyna and add the SG but I cant at this time so Ill wait it out and see if my bike sells then go looking for a replacement.
As far as getting an Ultra, or a RK or a ...........
Ive always wanted a SG so Ill wait it out, if it was meant to be Ill be on a new used ride shortly, if it wasnt meant to be Ill cash in my kids college fund and have 2 rides.
