need opinions hammer perf bike build
I have a 1992 sportster and I rebuilt the whole upper and cams lifters rods ect. basically the only thing original and more then 3 years old is the frame and lower case. The hammer perf parts are all crush level with a 1250 kit 10:1 compression 30 degree domed pistons. I have a daytona twin tec ignition with single fire coils. How much should I sell it for? Parts alone were over 6500.

Who did the build? Generally, a hot rodded bike like that would still only sell for about the same as a 1200, plus maybe a little more. There just simply isn't a huge market for bikes heavily customized. You may find the right guy who comes along and wants exactly that, but otherwise I would imagine many people will just pass.

If it has a lot of that stuff on it, you may be better off trying to part out the performance pieces and put stock stuff back on. Ideally, the highest selling price bikes will be as close to stock or unmodified as possible.

You may want to reconsider selling the bike along with something else.
Too nice of a bike and you will never replace it.
I sold a car for a women,and both her and the classic cars are gone.
Plenty of good beautiful women out there that respect a mans passions and hobbies.
Keep the bike or you will always regret selling it.
Edit.....plus this is a bike you and your dad built.
That is rare and both of you will never find time to do another.
Pass this bike down to your kids.
When your dad is old and he sees it still in your garage, it will always bring a smile to his face.
Long after he's gone, it will bring back good memories of him

That's good. See if you can get some sort of letterhead to make it look more official. It looks much better to buyers when a shop did it (even if you/your dad is a certified tech, many people have been screwed over by the shadetree "mechanic").

When I buy anything used I want it unmodified,if I get a hint that it was anyone's project I will not even lowball. All my bike had done was straight pipes, but even then....it came with all the screaming eagle stuff, extra OEM wearable parts like the handle grips, spares like etc all in the OEM boxes.
