2007 Superglide questions
I am considering doing the HD trade-in offer, trading my 08 883L for an 07 Superglide. The SG has only 2500 miles, dealer wants 11k for it.
Any thoughts/advice from any 07 SG owners out there? How would it be moving from the 883L to the Glide? How is the seat/ride/handling on back roads?
Any advice welcome.

Yeah I ride my current bike every day (in season) commuting to work 25 miles each way. I mostly do 2-lane blacktops but occasionally need to do the interstate. Weekends I like riding at least 75 miles for a day ride, again mostly scenic roads. I like a smooth comfortable ride but not a bus; I like to be able to take curves at a good speed and pass cagers that annoy me.

Seriously shop around, if you have other dealers in your area. You should be able to get a 2008 for near that.
On the ride, compared to L models, the seat height is pretty close, but is just a bit wider than the Sportster's. Add about 100-120 pounds to the weight of the bike, but that really just smooths out road irregularities. You'll enjoy the six speed for highway cruising, but don't expect the Dyna to react as quickly in lower speed emergencies. I kept my Sporty, and I can tell you that around town or city driving, the word nimble will only apply to the Sportster.
However, the Dyna is an excellent all around bike (even though I don't push mine like I do the Sporty) and I've taken some really long trips that would've been pretty tough on an XL. Generally, anything under 200 miles, I take the Sportster, anything over that, or riding with groups that all have larger gas tanks, I take the Dyna.
You won't regret the Dyna, though. It's an excellent bike and incredibly versatile.

Great ride and great bikes with more power and comfort than a sporty.
Now not trying to say anything about your dealer but i think they want to much for that bike. If its just a plain jane superglide. The new 09 superglide msrp is $11,999 i think they could do you alot better on the price.

I thought the trade in had to be used to purchase a NEW big twin. We have been considering this offer also, trade in the wifes nightster for a dyna or a softail.

Shop around there are a lot of good deals out there from private sellers and dealers who actually want to sell bikes.
Picked up an 09 FXDC with 750 miles over the weekend for a great price.

Well, i can't go private seller since I am doing the trade-in deal.
I agree the price is a bit high but with pre-owned no prep, freight, or security system which they hit you for on a new bike so new SG would be 13k with all that.
Some dealers are offering the trade on pre-owned.

i have a 07 super glide and i love it! i can run the blue ridge mtns with a load of fun and leave the big bikes behind. you can improve the looks if needed with some money... i think the only bike better looking off the assembly line is the rocker.
