Hey Steve, I'm toying with the idea of trading my 07 FatBoy in on a 08 Street Glide. But...it all depends on how good of a trade in I can get. Curious as to how well or not so well you did on your trade. PM me if ya prefer.

Thanks,
Ric

Love the Fat Boy look, hate the ride. Street Glide is best of both worlds. Good trade!

Factoring in the sales tax I saved doing the trade, it was like me selling it privately for a bit over $16500 which is realistically about all I could have hoped to get for it.
