i want to trade my 2013 ultra classic for a smaller bike even up mine has 27k on the dial. cant hold it up anymore

 

Mighty fine bike you have there. It's going to make someone happy. I'm also getting on in years and wonder how long I'll be strong enough to ride. I'm in fine shape now but I don't see many riders ten years older than I. I'm 74.

 

I don't think you'll have any problems wit that.
But...why not lower your bike instead?

 

Trade it in for a trike. Nothing to hold up anymore.

 

Get a Softail, maybe a Heritage so you can keep touring functionality. It has a much lower center of gravity and a lower seat height.

It’s not just the total weight. It is seat height and center of gravity.

 

One of these options are what I am going to consider.

 

Deal. Here you go...

 

A stationary motorcycle weighs as much as a feather at it's true vertical.
Physics takes care of weight when your are moving.
What are the circumstances that are giving you trouble holding it up?
