Unless you can mechanic your bike or have disposable income, I would not touch a used M8 bike that has a questionable warranty.

the full rinehart will void the warranty only if HD knows about it but why take a chance.

if you go in to buy one they’ll locate one for you and gladly sell it to you.
i traded my 17 SGS with 16k miles for a new 18 SGS and $2k cash. They’re dealing...

space coast was at $3k + trade and i ended up getting mine at Seminole which beat them by a lot.

even if you have to negotiate transportation with an out of state dealer.

i recently got a tremendous deal, versus original MSRP, on a ‘17 leftover Ultra Limited.

a new bike is just BETTER now, because if a M8 was traded in, you never no why.

you can find a better deal if you shop, and let the dealers know you are shopping.

i just ask them to email me a buyers order, that puts real numbers on the table
