16 vs 17 SGS
Need some objective input. Looking at 2 Street Glide Specials. One a 2017 with a few upgrades per pic below (17 next to golf clubs) and the next bike a 2016 with a total of $7K in upgrades including labor or $5K in parts. Mileage is about equal. Price on both is equal at $19K. Do you go with me 2016 with more upgrades or the 2017 with the newer engine and a couple of upgrades.

Looks like you have an EG but don'y know which TC it may be. Have you ridden a bike with either motor? The newer 107 is a lot more motor than anything preceding it. The first time my wife was on the new bike she commented on how much more power it has.
Warranty on either bike? They can roll over to new owner so a consideration. As far as the upgrades they are hard to sell. If I ever expected to get the money I ever put into my bikes upgrades I would be getting a new one every year.
Go to a dealership and test ride any M8 touring bike. That may help you make up your mind. But as I say to people all the time, buyer beware. If you are not ready to buy a new M8, don't ride one. I told myself that exact same thing until I was ready to buy. Good luck with your choice and whatever you end up with!!!

I don't remember seeing mileage on the 1st 2? I see at least $1500-2k add ons on the 3rd between pipes, end caps, black heat shields, black luggage racks and back rests. To me extras matter, especially if it has what you were going to buy them anyway.
Good question on the warranties?
400 miles is 400 miles, plus it's orange and well I am kinda biased.
Orange it is!
