I do agree that that may be the biggest difference that was noticeable if you compare stock bike to stock bike. The front end doesn't flex at all making it seem more stable in some circumstances. However, changing to some progressively wound springs and heavier weight Screaming Eagle fork oil does an enormous account to help compensate.

 

extras should be sold on your own

 

I wrestled this for months with my 2013 Anniversary UGL. New one has the better bags, brakes, motor, nav, radio, switches, lights, etc. Best deal I've gotten yet was bike plus $8500 for two-tone, $7500 for Vivid Black.

Dammit, mine's prettier! I instead bought Trucklite's, a Zumo 550 with a fairing mount, and upgraded the speakers. Have the additional $6k for gas and a few quality beers!

 

Why not just sell the bike yourself? May take longer but well worth it! If you can, buy the new one and then sell the old one.

 

best I found was $8500 otd for vivid black. Mine is vivid black too and has the zumo 660 fairing mounted and upgraded speakers.

 

It all depends on the dealer and how bad they want to move the bike. I ended up with a 4 grand down payment and they ate the set up fees. 3 1/2 years of my ESP from the old bike transferred to the new bike, so I feel I got a good deal, payments went down to and from now on my tag will only cost 20 bucks BC of the new GA advolurm tax thing. So I am happy. Good luck to you bro.

 

I traded in my 2011 Limited and got 16K for it and between the tax savings between the price of the 2014 and the 2011 I saved about $2200.00 going to Space Coast Harley which is about 2 hours North from where I live.
