Default Help me out here guys...

Got a 2009 SE Road Glide around may 2009.
Orange and Black. Wasnt cheap and I had add the follow:

Power Commander

Rinehart true dual

HID lights

LaPera seat

Progressive shocks with compressor

Klock Werks wind shield

Kuryakyn INNER PRIMARY COVER

Hawg Wired

Electra-Glo™ Light Pod Kit

Some more chrome parts etc

And more to come, or so I was thinking till last night...

But last night I seen a pic of the new SE Ultra in black...

And now im having a dilemma... Trade or no trade???

What do you guys think? if I trade, I would have to get the tour pack to be detachable and all ready made a promise to my princess that I wont do nothing to it ...

Help me out here guys...

You bought a Screaming Eagle Road Glide EIGHT MONTHS ago, and then put.... what? Another 4 grand in it at least?
And now your not happy with it? or Think you want the SE ULTRA in Black?
Really it sounds like you have more money than you know what to do with, I say keep the RG and buy the Ultra too...

You know if you trade, you'll likely take it very very deeply,, right?

not so easy with money, just seems to think that you only go around the block once... and with dealer charges, im a shame to say way more then 4g in to it... I guess my ADD/ADHD kicks in at this point.
However, youj have to agree, the new Ultra SE in bllack is one sweet looking ride!
But hay, love mine to...

Personally, I think you're nuts to consider trading an '09 SERG for a '10 CVO Ultra in the new color. Except for paint, there is nothing unique or special about the new Ultra unless the fact that it's numbered has some special appeal. Now, if the CVO Ultra had the SESG/SERG rear fender, extended bags, etc. that would be worth pondering. But it doesn't have those features which you already have.

Your $$$; your decision. Good luck.

So paint to road glide like the ultra, the best of both worlds and it will be way cheaper

I agree with Hockey-- You will lose more money selling it than you would spend getting a trick paint job that is better than what you had seen on the black Ultra.

Yep, you'll take a huge hit selling that SERG and unless I had no worries in the world about $$$, I'd drop any thoughts of doing a trade.


EDIT: If you really want that ugly SE Ultra, I'd take that fugly SERG off your hands for $15k cause that's the kind of guy I am - generous to a fault! LOL
