Thanks, I don't owe that much on my 05 and refinancing makes better since to me that depleteing my savings. I really appreciate the advise. Getting the refinancing is no biggy, my bank is always happy to see me coming. I only deal with one and have for over 30 yrs. Hell almost as long as I been married,,LOL...Guess will have to discuss it with momma and see what she wants to do.

Joe,
Your bike is barely broken in. If you have to refinance your 05, I say do that instead of going in real debt for a new one, unless it's a Road Glide Ultra. - Mike

It's a Ultra Limited with the 103 motor. Guess me and momma got to talk it over at dinner tomorrow night, celebrating our 40 yr adventure together. Again thanks and good night. Glad to see you at least typing, Mike. Make them reservations for the Meet and Greet.

Work out a trade with the dealer, see what your new payments will be, If you can comfortly afford it, buy it. Then tell mamma~

Skip the upgrades and cosmetic if you can't afford them, do the repairs that are needed. For the cost of repairs your talking a few months payments.

Sounds to me like you really need to trade.Nothing wrong with fixing up your bike but you will still want a new one.TRADE!!!! We only have one shot at this life cannot be redone!
