Default Would I be crazy?

I have a 2007 CVO Ultra that is completely stock. The only things I have added are IDS, headlight trim rings and windshield trim. It has a little over 20K miles on it. The local dealer has a 2008 Anniversary Street Glide that has every chrome accessory made and in addition has Rinehart true duals and slip-ons, painted inner fairing, chrome front end, chrome wheels and chrome floating rotors. It also has the 110 c.u. Screamin Eagle engine kit. It has only 6,100 miles on it. Would I be crazy to swap even? I would be giving up heated seat and grips, XM radio, CB and navigation.

Aint no way I would do it...........Accessories on a plain bike isnt worth squat when you go to trade but a CVO will always be a CVO........... .02

I have a o8 anniv flhx, I love it, but wouldn't give up a cvo for one, have you been having issues with the bike. No way they are selling for same price. Dealer is trying to make you pay for the chrome, which means nothing when trading in.

I'm inclined to agree with the previous posts...a CVO is always a CVO! You can add a little bling here and there and swap out the exhaust and have the same bike! I wouldn't trade in a CVO unless it was for another CVO...

In a weak moment I sold my 2003 CVO road king with every thing possible added. Boy do I regret it. Think about what it would cost to replace. I even miss the Ugly Gold color. Live and learn, don't do it....

In a word, No Way. Okay, 2 words, but I still would not trade an Ultra CVO for a SG.
