Same as last year; smitten by the citrus SGSE.  Current bike 06 Street glide with tman built 120 and tons of extras...with 9K on the clock.  Have 37K plus in my bike..what does the group think would be a fair trade amount so I don't do something stupid next time I go to the dealer.....  Thanks.  Let the convincing begin.  Spook

Unfortunately... a non-CVO will simply not have the value a CVO bike does, no matter how much money you have in it...

But on the other side of the coin... just DO IT!

If youre looking to be talked out of buying a new bike, this is probably the wrong place

[spook120]

Thanks for the reply. Owned 3 CVO bikes starting in 2003 and then decided to build my own CVO  with a motor that I wanted.  Must be getting old as I don't find myself using 130 HP at the rear wheel and kind of tired of the borzilla noise.  Probably correct not the right spot for rational thought regarding buying a new motorbike.  LOL.  Spook.

"Just do it"!

If you are asking the question, you are already there!

The only way to get back even some of the money you have into your bike is to sell privately to someone who wants a bike with what you have done to yours...the dealer won't care about how much you have into the motor---to them it's just another street glide....

Don't know enough about the 06..   Do you have custom paint, wheels, any mods to tank, fenders, bags?   

With only 9k on the bike its practically new.    If you could get a GOOD price, then I'd maybe consider it....

If I had a built 120 in a bike with 9k, I probably wouldn't get rid of it.  JMHO.

Maybe just change to a quieter muffler system since your not using 130 hp anyway.

Stick with the 06, its a better motor.

I traded a built 2006 Street Glide for my 2011 and love it.  Didn't have quite the engine work you have but it was worth it for the suspension/chassis changes alone.

Did you broom the original 88" or do you still have it on hand to reinstall.  If so, have you thought about keeping the 120R for install in a new '12 Citrus?  That's probably what I'd do.  Does it still have the 5-speed?

there's a good thought....

If you want someone to talk you out of the trade it wouldn't be me 

[hdtrader]

If your looking to buy then you might as well pay them now...the value of yours won't go up and their's won't go down.  I went from a 385HP Boss Hoss and a 2010 SG to a a 2012 FLHTCUSE7...I plan to travel more now and considering warranty and reliablity while on the road is a big plus for me now.  IMO...I would return the bike back to stock (as much as you can) sell the parts on the forums and move on to that new CVO.   

Good luck whichever way you go...

[SG Racer]

Sell the hot rod and get the new one! You will probably get more selling it the public. The new ones are great. You will never look back.
 Good luck.

[catsnhogs]

I feel for you because I know what you are going through.  All of the responses have merit and I would say to do what your heart tells you and dont look back.  Life is too short!!

[Dood2]

Agreed Life is way too short. If you can afford it just do it, make yourself happy. You only go around this life one time.
