Dude, with what they offered as far as a interest precentage, and the other stuff, looks o.k. to me. May want to check with your own bank tho to see if you can get a better rate........would recommend getting the 1st three services pre-paid. It's saved me some moola through the first 2........JMHO.

Sell your Shadow outright on either e-bay or cycle focus or something like that. HD is unlikely to give you anything near blue book value on a used metric. I've never tried a Road King, but the Electra Glides I know are very nice and at your height, you won't have any problem with feeling like your too small on that. Look into a 09 like everyone else says, you should be able to get a deal with the 10's coming in.

per HD website:
road king classic: $17,999
color:$380
security:$345
Total: $18,724He is taking 1,000 off of that, plus 500 off for the setup fee=
Basically $17,224 for the bike before taxes and registration.
HD is offering 4.9% for qualified buyers (i am right at the edge i think) which goes until the 10th, or tomorrow. Otherwise its like 10%. What do banks usually charge for bike loans? I thought I heard you could knock like $2000 off plus the setup fees, especially with the '10s coming out. They have about 3 road king classics on display, plus another couple in back...and this is not a large store. should I play hardball and ask for another grand off and I will sign the papers tomorrow? I have no idea of the markup on HDs....
Edit:I will NOT be trading the Honda in. I may keep it for a while as it is worth about what I owe, if not a little less on the street. This deal will be bought by itself with no trade. He threw taking 1500 off like it was nothing yesterday and today when I went for some basic numbers he took it off again. New salesman too, maybe I can get a better deal?

Call other dealers in the area to see if they will beat that deal. Some don't discount, others do. Most offer 20% off accessories with the bike purchase. Some will include the 1000 mile service with the deal.

In general I have never found Harley better than banks or credit unions. But they can sweeten the deal with accessories sometimes.
RK Classics have leather bags, spoke wheels and cruise control. RK have hard bags, mag wheels and no cruise. You can save $500 if you get black.
