Considering a trade

[hitime]

I have a 2005 Goldwing with MotorTrike conversion. I have never been able to get the ergonomics set for my comfort. I am giving up, and am looking at trading for a Tri-Glide. There is a dealer near me with a 2011 and a 2012 with low miles for sale. What do I need to be looking for/asking when I visit the dealer to talk trade? Any issues I need to address on the spot before making the deal? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would be interested in nice long test rides on both used machines to see if your comfort improves and that you can feel the differences.
Second would be trade in value,you might do better selling the GW to a private party.
Test rides could make the decission for you.

On the 2011 make sure they changed out the rear brake switch.(That was a recall.) On the 2012 make sure they changed out the voltage regulator(Some of the 2012s had an issue with these.)
