Keep your SG, its pd for and you seem to like it (and its one of HD's best models for sure). Make your best deal on the used Train and finance it if needbe. Then just work to get it pd off early and go get the next thing you just must have.
I am getting my Concours pd off early so I can add a RoadKing. I think I will never let my Cross Bones go--I love that bike.

I believe in "asking for forgiveness is easier than asking permission", just do it, momma will get over it soon enough.

Harley dealers are like any American business, they are in business to turn a profit, that's the name of that tune. If you feel like you're getting screwed, walk away, simple as that!

They would make money on both ends there...total of about 7 to 8 grand I figure. I wouldn't do it. There are better ways to get you a NT.

Well I am gonna hold off on it. I have way too much invested in the FLHX at this point.
If I added the amt of every aftermarket part on there I would probably surprise myself. Yeah its a 2007 but I do like the bike a lot. I guess I just miss my old train too...I might wait a few more years and maybe try to buy one as a second bike.
