"At sound point you will have to stomach the BS if you want to upgrade. Grin and bear it and you just might come out further ahead than you think "
I also agree about selling the bike and not trading it in. Having said this, I just traded my 13 RK for a 15 Road Glide and I'm VERY happy with the bike. I did this yesterday @ House Of Thunder Morgan Hill.

Sell the bike yourself, and then wait till the last 3 days of the month, not a weekend to go in. Thats when they are trying to reach there goals for the month and will move alot easier on price and add-ons.

Was chatting with a dealer this week about upgrading to a '14 up Street Glide. I was just looking around. He came to me. Offered me $11,000 on a trade for my '12. I just said alrighty then. This conversation's over.

The model of sales is how bad you want to buy, vs how bad they want to sell. Supply and demand basically. Now is the best time since 2016's are right around the corner. Which explains the financing rates.
I just traded my Dyna Street Bob in at Orlando Harley for a 2015 Limited Low. It took a few hours but my bike went from $6500 up to $9145 and I didn't pay retail for the new bike. In fact the deal was better than a used one with interest rates considered.
I did my best not to let them know how much I hated the Dyna after a few long rides on it.
I'm old, lol.
