Not planning on it ever again. I have a very different take on some things, vehicles are one of them. I waited close 40 years to get my Harley there are many but this one is mine. I have been very lucky no serious break downs. The advise and help a great deal of that from the forum here. I enjoy riding, cleaning, polishing, changing things to make run longer and stronger. I am different but the 09 is still as good as new or possibly a little more reliable. that's my opinion but everyone has one.Ride safe Fred

Not interested in starting over. Mine is paid off and I have done a lot to improve it and make it a one of a kind. I am going to complete the cool down improvements. After that is the front suspension and about the time that is done I am going to go after some HP.
I think they have them priced way too high anymore. My wife has a Mustang convertible that is about the same money as a new trike and there is way more in the way of materials involved in that than my trike.

2019 Tri-Glide.......
I bought a new one last July, if I hadn't I would buy a new one for all the reasons I bought the one I did. I don't plan on buying another one because I have mine now
No. Too over-priced and too much bling (driving up the price).

I have a '19 Tri Glide. I'm too long in the tooth to purchase another one. I'm still adding a few things for more comfort to this one. It's paid off so I'm happy with it.
Short answer, NO. Mine is set-up the way I like it and it's a great ride. I also agree HD has over priced what they offer. Not only the bikes but everything that goes with them. $300 for an Oil change, geez. $40 T-Shirts... geez.
I don't even go into the dealers anymore........

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Kurt give Pro Action a call and ask for George he has a different take on fixing the front end issues and much less costs. Check their website and give him a call. Second thought wait a week or two he is most likely in Daytona now. That's where I'm going for the front end fix. Pro Action is just a little more than an hour from home for me. ride safe Fred

I thought I might buy a new one for a retirement present but my "16" works just fine and their prices are just getting way to crazy.

No thanks, I have my ‘10 fixed like I want it and it runs good AND dependable!
i firmly believe that the MoCo has/is pricing themselves out of the market.....been
selling to many damn shirts, etc.
Like others, mine is paid for and I hope it will last me for my riding time. I just have to start putting money into it now to make it mine 😁
It takes years to develop trust, it only takes a moment to lose it.
Nope.
Got mine set up like I want it. Would be way too expensive to set another one up this way. About the only thing I've got left to put on this is mechanical reverse. After that, I'll be done.

No plans to do that. I have the FBG where I want it. After the rake kit and then proaction on the rear, I'll be where I want to be ... might at some point get it painted pearl white ...
Last fall I talked to George at Pro Action he has developed new valves that meter the oil differently he is really good at what they do. His take is cartridges are not the best option and much more pocket friendly. Bike week is upon us and I'm sure George is there. Check the Website for pro action and take a look also view the install video. Fred

No plans for that now, but never say never. My 16 is paid for and pretty much the way I want it. Will be 72 next month and this will likely be my last one. IF I did need to get another one, it would be a lightly used one, not new.
It is what it is.

I am going to ride the wheels off my 17 Freewheer I call Quicksilver Girl
I doubt I will buy anything new from The MOCO again
