Default 2015 & 2016 Value?

Do you all think the value of the 15's & 16's will drop with the new Milwaukee 8 out??

Short term possibly, just because there are deals on the 16's. It will right itself once the hype on the 17's dies down. My 2010 value is right where is should be even with the Rushmores on the used market now.

Depends on if the engine lives up to the hype. If they start ending up on the side of the road, the value will go up. If they turn out to be the best thing ever, value will go down.

The used Bike market has been overflowing for a number of years now, it's not like the 90s
when waited 6 to 8 months for a Bike you already paid for. Then you ride it for a year or two
and then sale it for what you paid for it. There are always people who can't afford to pay $20K +
for a new touring Bike.

I am new to the HD world. I am in the process of purchasing my very first Harley,it is a 2017 Tri-Glide with the new 107 or Milwaukee 8. Any advice on this bike is greatly appreciated,any particular add ones I should start with out of the shop! One of the first things I will change are the mirrors, I would like larger ones, advice on this would be helpful. I have read some discussions on rear bumper and possibly a lift kit or comfort kit,are either one needed for the 2017 models?

New engines and suspensions on the 2017, and you will be one of the first to own, so best to just ride it for a little while, and see what things need improvement for you.

One guy might complain about the comfort, but the next guy could be totally satisfied with stock for his driving.

Lots of new accessories and upgrades will be released soon, so keep your eye on this forum and the latest parts catalog.

Aftermarket will start churning out improvement items soon also.

By your first 1,000 mile service, you will probably know those areas you want to improve.

Enjoy your new Trike!

I stopped in a dealership and looked at a 2017 just to see the motor. There was a salesman standing there and I said, so I suppose my 2015 Limited is no good now? He said no no it's still good, just not worth anything. I said that's what I figured I hear. Hope he was kidding.
