Don't do it.
2018 will likely see the M8 in all big twin models. You might find an M8 powered Heritage to be hard to pass up.
With the M8 in all models, it might be easier to negotiate price since the M8 will not be as exclusive.
For some perspective, you can buy three, possibly four, Evo powered bikes in good shape for the price of one new Road Glide Special.

They want $24k for their 17 Vivid Black road glide plus tax, freight, fees etc? That's going to add up fast in additional charges. I'd tell them to beef up your trade in or hit other dealers to see if you can do better. The 18's will be out in early Aug/Sept. Damn dealers are pulling this crap everywhere with wholesale trade in for retail prices for their benefit. Tell them to do better or you'll walk. If they let you walk screw them. Other dealers will work to make you the offer your happy with.

Doesnt seem to crazy..look at ebay sold listings and chopper exchange for what they are going for...BUT, how many miles on yours?
I would suggest taking off the "extras", you have a bunch and can get good money on that stuff, and offer the 13K OTD including (tags, tax. and basic fees.)
You still have the stock seat, etc?
Not sure if you can use your LED turns on the RG...
Get it and enjoy!!

Just shy of $14200. I was back there today and told them I need it a bit sweeter. I think I will be able to get another 500+ off. We will see tomorrow.
