She says she is not getting on it but we will see. Dealership has been good so far so I am not sure about pushing much more. I have almost decided to get it. A backseat rest retails at about 200.00? Another dealer has a Harley demo ride on Saturday and they have called me 2 times to make sure I am coming to ride a 2016.

I wouldn't worry too much about "pushing much more" when it comes to a negotiation.

I subscribe to the old sales mantra..."If you never ask, you'll never know".

Other things to ask for: Service manual set (it's a "must have"), free first service, sundowner seat (if the bike currently has a stock seat)

Man I have already thought about it. I got the helmet cheap. Not sure how much it will cost to paint and clear coat
