Default Do I sell my custom Switchback for 2014 Streetglide

I have a decent offer to buy my bike. I know it's hard to find a buyer of a custom bike that's willing to give you good money so that's my dilemma.

Am I ready to sell? Not necessarily but the 2014 SG is so damn sexy.

Let me know your thoughts? I'm posting in both the touring and Dyna sections to see what everyone thinks.

Here is my current bike a 2013 Switchback.

I obviously like SGs but Man.... that is one awesome looking bike you've got there.

I don't know if I would part with it. Especially if it rides good.

First, nice bike! Second, depends on what you want to get fm bike...how much riding you do, what type of trip(s), functionality, etc...

Personally, I'd keep your bike...other than tunes and fairing, it's s FLHX clone. Are they offering you a tone more than worth for yours?

I actually have a reckless fairing and stereo on the way...

The offer is good but not what I have in it. That being said about 4-5k more then what the dealer will give me, if they want it at all considering it modded.

I would keep your bike unless you start doing a lot of all day rides on the expressways...

You will never get back what you have into it. You never do on a trade.
If you have the OEM parts you would be better off putting it back to stock and then trading it in and then selling the after market stuff you put on.

Awesome bike you have there. No brainer, keep what you got, that's better looking than any stock SG.
