I would trike the bike you already have. The blue looks great as a trike!

I would think that Triking what you have would be the best bet, and I bet the trailer would match too 
I did pick the bike up used, and i think i can resell it for what i payed for it
sombody on the site here said to buy a used one to see if you like the wing. At 130mph with heated hand grips you can't get any beater then that.
and with a Yellow one at 100mph i will b e looking like i'm doign 130

Not to mention you'll be among the Trike Elite. Although the 100 mph thing concerns me. Yes, Yellow is the most gorgeous color of all, but also the most visible to the trained eye of the law enforcement crowd. As J V McClure discovered in Arizona not long ago. His is not Yellow but he has his mug shot plastered all over the post office walls in Phoenix. If you're going to go YELLOW and speed too have a good story ready. Tell 'em your installer pinched your throttle cable and it sticks. Or blame it on our fellow board members..........like I do!I did pick the bike up used, and i think i can resell it for what i payed for it

I have a 2007 with ABS, with only 2300 miles on it,
...............
What sould i Do Sell the 07 Or add a trike Kit to it
with what i have in the bike plus the kit i would be in about the same as
buying a new 09 out of AK they have a nice Yellow:shock:
Even if you get your money back selling the 07 when you buy the 09 you will have to pay full tax on the 09 plus your insurance will go up considerably as I discovered when considering the same thing myself. Just think of the farkles you could buy with the tax and insurance difference. Just figure those differences before you decide. :shrug:.
Of course being a ******* biker you probably have millions and a few lousy bucks for tax and ins. is just coffee money anyway. :joke:
ok:coffee1: I'M up:coffee1: and i see once again the folks on the board would show me the way. I could ask witch kit should i get but that would open a can of worms4: their is a Lehman shop here in portland that eveybody say is a great shop. and what i have seen it's all about the shop, I think like anything, once you get use to it you don't notice the extra bump
Great job on info

:yes1:I second FlashG's opinion....blue looks great on a trike. I'm always getting compliments on how pretty the blue is. I had my '07 for a year and 26K miles on it before I triked it with a Hannigan. Since then I have put another 5K + on it and never regreted it a bit.
to quote Harry;
"And, *******, once you trike it, scrap the 130MPH idea. The increased road friction, wind resistance and weight cuts right into the performance curve. Something like putting a tank conversion on a Volkswagon"

i agree, and besides, if you slow down and run at a nice steady 60 - 70, you gain more in the posing stakes as more folk can look and say "wow, that looks great, wish i could have one" hehe.

IRHarry, you mean there is no sales or excise tax in your state. I find it hard to believe that if you jump up 2 years in model that you would have a lower insurance rate. If so you certainly live in the promised land. 4:
Sorry, I didn't take time to check but suggested that he check before making his decision. (just figure those differences before you decide).
