Well my wife and I finally got to the dealer today to work on this deal. We were supposed to last weekend but some unexpected family business came up and couldnt get there. So anyway, as of today, No Deal :-( They will not go lower than $30k otd. and they don't want to give me anymore than book trade-in value on my Sportster, which is a pretty tricked out ride. (2k in custom wheels and about another $4k or so in chrome, etc.) I refuse to get raped on my trade, which I was anyway in my offer. I offered them $23k and my bike and it still wasnt enough for them. I was ready and willing to write the check if they agreed. I was kinda surprised that it didnt fly to be honest.
Thinking we're going to back it down a little work something out on a Street Glide since it's a little less costly and I can keep the Sportster (won't loose my butt on it) and get the SG as well. The only two touring bikes that fit me like a glove stock are the CVO RK and the SG. One way or another I will get a new bike in my garage soon :-) It's just so crazy that I am bringing $25,000 to the table for a motorcycle and it's still not enough....Amazing!
PS. I wouldnt be surprised if they call me back...so I am kinda holding tight. What a game this can be.

Keep the Sporty or sell it yourself
I'm not surprised, but I think they will likely not call you back. I hope I am wrong. If they do stick to your guns. At any rate the best I can tell there is a huge difference between the CVO and the Glide... I guess you need to think about how much you are going to shell out to get the Glide the way you want it. My experience tells me much more then the CVO... 
Frankly, where I am I probably should have bought a CVO Ultra, of course I did not have the money... but it would have saved me in the long run.
At any rate enjoy, I see a lot of 08 Bikes out there.
Oh yes, if you can why not sell the Sporty yourself... it doesn't sound like cash flow is a real issue and I'm sure you will do better selling it on your own.
