I'm ready for a Road Glide 3 or Tri Glide Ultra if I only didn't have to handle dealer BS! Any suggestions for a SE FL dealer? I'm in Vero Beach and yes Space Coast Harley is just up the road in Palm Bay. Just wondering if there are any others within about 150 miles that you've had experience with.
Also, are there certain times of the year that might be better to buy, like around Daytona Bike Week?
One thing for sure...since you're in Vero...you'll see a heck of a lot better selection in and around Daytona if you wait until Bikeweek comes around than you'll find at any one dealer.
What bike do you have now and have you looked into maybe converting it?
I believe independent rear suspension is better than a solid axle. I converted a Sportster and when watching how the suspension works it is quite extraordinary. The wheels are bouncing up and down yet the frame of the bike sits perfectly still.
I converted my 2018 CVO Limited into a trike with a RoadSmith kit. Fully independent rear suspension, aux gas tank, tow hitch built into the frame and running boards. IMO there is no other way to go and I am pleased as can be with the outcome.

Can-Am 3 wheel currently; looking to move to HD. So, nothing to convert.

Do you mean at the Daytona/St. Augustine area dealers?

What was the pricing for the kit and installation?

price is anywhere from $13000-$18000. Plus the bike. I bought a lightly used 14 Tri Glide to try. I wanted to be sure we both would like it. We like it but I’m not sure I want to spend the extra on converting a newer bike? If I don’t will be California side car . Simply because they are pretty close to me.

He'll also get to experience the special Bike Week prices which increase dramatically during BW and Biketoberfest.
