So far on my LowRider
So far, Hwy pegs, Windvest shield, rear blinkers relocated, Bags, Firebrand 4" Loose Cannon Slip ons, Mirror extenders.
Gonna have to sell the Road Glide before I can do the rest. Probably my last bike, so needed to shed the weight of the RG. The LowRider brings me back to my FXR days.

Be sure to keep us posted on what you do to the bike after the RG is sold.

Back in May 2011, I decided to sell my 2003 Kawasaki ZZR 1200 that I bought NOS in May 2006. Had it for 5 years and put 13500 miles on it. I listed on cycletrader and a guy from PA who happened to be in Chicago on business drove down to my house and looked at the bike. I handed him a file with all the records on the bike. He read them over and I sold the bike for what I was asking for it. Not the first time that I have had things go that when selling a bike.

I rode today, around 75 degrees here (after tornadic weather last night). I'm eyeballing the flush mount cap and gauge, and relocation kit for front signals but i havent ordered just yet.

I do not know about your HD dealer but mine does a lot more than an oil change when I take the bike in for servicing. How do I know? I sat both times in the waiting area and watched the tech check a comprehensive list of things including all those things that can come loose, belt tension, tires, etc. When the tech is done, the detailing guy comes over a wipes everything down real nice and shines her up.
That said, I can see that service records by a factory trained tech should hold some leverage in a negotiation. Still, in the short run, those gloves weren't that cheap...

For those that do their own work and save a few bucks, mazel tov! I have neither the time or desire to do my own work. Dropping $300 at the dealership to service my bike means nothing to me.
I must be doing something right. Every time I sell one of my one-owner garaged bikes with all the service records, I get on the high end of the fair market price for the bike. When I sold my ZZR 1200 and CBR 1100 XX, the buyers knew what they were getting and we avoided having to haggle over price.
