Looking for opinions about my FXDF,please.
Hi,i'd like to ask members to have a look at the attached pics of my 2011 FXDF & give me your opinions,on the General appearance of the Bike & the changes i've made,do any of the visible changes/acc's look unsuitable or are a turn off,is there anything you would change,to enhance my chances of attracting a buyer(i've been trying to sell it for more than a Year).
I really need some opinions.
Cheers,Graham.

If you haven't been able to sell it in a year then you have it priced too high. It's a nice bike that wouldn't turn off anybody looking for that model. Anybody that buys it will change things up and it looks like it already has the stage one done....bonus.
Drop the price now and sell it (if that's what you want to do) the value will only drop more the longer you keep it.

Looks clean to me. Usually when some one is looking they want a fairly stock bike and yours is right in that ballpark. Gonig to assume everyone wants a stage 1 for the most part anyway. As for minor minuses...I'm not thrilled with the 2-1 pipe and the color would not be my first choice, so others might bump on that as well, but I'd likely swap pipes no matter what you had on there. The color is a little trickier to change for the average buyer and there are probably other choices out there. Only other possible issue is the price?

Lose the crash bars and remove the rear back pad for images, it retards the tough look which is what prospective buyers seem to seek. By all means say they go with the bike.
Buyers always visualise what THEY want. Try not cloud their prospective canvas with your perspective.
Drop your price or suggest it is negotiable. GLWS.

Price would be number one. Then I would remove the reflectors, which would clean it up. If you still have the original seat put that on and try selling the sundowner by itself....never liked those seats no matter how comfortable they might be.

I'll be honest with you OP... if your price was right, and I had the cash, I would buy it. It's set up just the way I would want it, and an FXDF is one of the few Twin Cams I really really like.
I hope you can find a buyer like me and agree on the price... it's a shame to let a nice bike like that just sit there.

Graham, put the original seat back on, remove the luggage rack and backrest. Offer those as extras to sweeten the deal. If they don`t want them, then sell them outright. Keep the price right around actual book value.
