You've answered your own question then. Wait and find one in the "For Sale" section here then.

Ok Cheapo I'm in the same boat as you. Got me a 2020 Street Glide, Tahitian teal. My wife has her own Tri Glide, so she don't ride with me. My thinking on this is when I take an overnite trip I would like to get a Chopped tour pack set up with a back rest, kinda like what comes on the SG CVO. yea it's pricey but then you can use it for the occasional rider or weekend trip. My parts guy said retail for everything is around 15.000.00 . just my 2 cents. BTW I'm cheap 2.

I got the smallest one Harley offers. Just enough to keep the passengers *** from slipping off.
