02 with 119k -- everything from the block up was new @ 96k-- all HD. 95" 211 cams heads, rocker shafts, SE oil pump. It has progressive shocks and a tubeless HD rum on rear, tires, pretty good. Mama hurt her back so I got the bagger so she can still go-- curious as to what I could get for it-- never been wrecked. The paint is original so you can see it has been really loved.

 

You really have to look at the private market around you (not dealers). While your upgrades are special to you they're rather meaningless to a buyer.
It's in great shape but high miles.
A buyer may have to secure a loan, bank note values are based on wholesale list prices, and that bike might only secure $4K.
With Respect;
When someone builds an engine for high performance (cams/heads) it means the engine has more power and the premise is the guy is taking advantage of that performance aka: ride it hard/beat it.
You may have never done that, but a buyer isn't going to think like that.
So,, around here your bike could sell for $6-7K max,, it's a 2002.

 

Understood, I'm an ASE master tech and a certified aircraft mechanic. What you said is 100% correct--I'm just trying to get opinions so I know where to start, if I decide to sell-- thank you

 

This is probably the best reply to a value estimate I have ever read, be it motorcycle, cars or trucks. well done.

 

My wife wants me to keep it, but, being almost 68 and having PTSD, I don't do well around strangers, and my (so called) friends think I'm whacked so riding alone is not much fun. If she can't go, I'm afraid "Ruby" ( bikes name) will just wither away and die!
Btw-- other than a new stator( under warranty) nobody has ever laid a wrench on it but me!

 

I can understand for sure, no need to for a reason. I hope you can get a good price and home for the bike. Wish you the best.

 

With that mileage you'll have a hard time competing with garage queens with only 20,000 miles on them. There are so many lower mileage bikes out there in the 6-7k range. But you have to start somewhere, I would definitely put "or best offer" in your ad.

 

Maybe if you take it to a few bike nights in your area, stripped down of luggage and bags, then mention you have the luggage when you get a nibble. Biketoberfest is just around the corner, use that as bait also. By looking at the bike you wouldn't know what the mileage is. Ask $5800.00 or go with the OBO.

 

After just picking up this 03 eg classic with 32k on it, 5 match-painted helmets, 2 covers, driver back rest, and a bike Jack, for $5k, I guess I'll just keep it, because my wife just informed me a few minutes ago, I can't sell it. Guess I have my marching orders. Sorry to have bothered you guys, but if mama ain't happy, nobody is happy

 

Keeping it is the best any way. 2 totally types of rides so take advantage of it. Short, fun, play rides - run the Dyna and for more laid back longer runs wheel the bagger. Nice options to have.
