I couldn't keep you guys hanging, but the bottom dropped out of this deal.
Ya the old saying stands true. If it’s too good to be true, it’s likely not true!
Apparently there was a BIG misunderstanding. When they said my bike (trade-in) and 9K they actually meant my bike trade-in, 9k down payment and than finance the balance of 9K. Just a little off wouldn’t you say.
Basically they were going to give me 14K on my trade-in and they wanted another 18k for the CVO S/G for a total of 32k less tax, license, 380 for shipping and 1700 for the b/s set up fee. All said and done it would have been around 34K. When I told them no deal they offered me 16 for my trade-in but by than I had lost interest.
Bottom line is my Stealership is no different than most of the others out there. To add another slight twist, they had a Spice Rum returned with 1000 miles on it. They said they would sell me that one for 31k. I told them I wouldn’t give them more than 29k but I still wasn’t interested. So now they will soon have 2 Spice Rum CVO S/G’s at a time when they have had one of the worse months in years.
I’ve decided to put my own personal touches to my 09 S/G and feel satisfied knowing I own it outright.
To guys have a great site going here, I’ll miss feeling involved, but most likely will lurk around once in a while to keep informed.
Thanks for being so kind.

We do indeed think alike!
Needless to say I was a bit bummed out when I found out there was a misunderstanding. So what does any reasonable guy obsessed with motorcycles do? I left work early, and went straight to my local custom Harley Shop. I ordered 4 cat eye flush mount Radiantz LED lights, a Badlands Load Equalizer run/turn unit and a Kuryakyn curved license plate holder with LED light. I’m having the lights flush mounted in the bags, two in each side. The rear fender is coming off, stop light removed, hole welded closed, and repainted. The bags will be repainted over the lights for the invisible look when the ignition is off. They are also painting my inner faring. After plunking down $ 640.00 buck for parts I felt much better. When the parts come in, the bike is going in the shop to get parts removed for the makeover.
Had I spent this much cash for anything else, that in and of itself would have been depressing. Funny how I felt so much better spending it on my bike.
Wheels are on the wish list and I’m thinking about the same ones that come on the CVO S/G. Some pin-stripping and chrome hand controls should round thing off for a while.

Alright......we feel better now, too!  Especially since it was your money that got spent. :huepfenlol2:

You know when it's all done, the standard rule of thumb.......   :worthless:

You have to think of it as them doing you a favor.
They saved you 9K.

You would have stood to lose 9K on the next bike after a year.

and you would have given them 14K for your bike if you had the chance.

So you can afford to put 9K in your bike and only have 23K in it as opposed to 32K and just starting to add things.

You are better off.

Yes indeed, I did exactly as you said! She thinks I called it off after giving it a little more thought. Little does she know I left the door cracked open just incase.
