Very true!! I like the idea of making it my own anyway, regardless of model I bought.

The 2010 is worth about 7000.00 to 9000.00 in good condition maybe less after all its 10 years old.Don't know what the snow mobile is worth if more check about at your local HD dealership.

OP .... It's a whole lot easier and cheaper to "Step Down" an Ultra than it is to "Step Up" a Street Glide

Sled is worth about 7k right before winter, right now with the warm weather I dont even have a nibble with it listed for the past month or so. Appreciate the help on the value

Repainting is expensive, to do well, but you could have some graphics added, to make it more distinctive, or some custom-lining. SG wheels will fit, to change it's appearance, although they can be a bit expensive, as they are popular (I have a front SG on my older pre-SG Glide!). So there are various ways in which you can give that bike some genuine SG features, plus some extra street cred! You'll find we are very helpful with ideas of how you can spend your money - if you give us a chance!

Bike looks real nice maybe on the high end of price. So if its a bike you want go for it, if you don't like it sell the bike and maybe make a few bucks.
