A little advise
I have an opportunity to buy a restomodded split bumper 71 camaro. To do so I will most likely have to sell my street glide. I was wondering what everyone thought it may be worth. I added up my receipts on the mods I've done and it adds up to 12,500. I know you never get your money back I understand that but I'm sure it would be worth more that a stock bike. Any suggestions?

Keep the bike,
That's a common problem with Harley owners. Not trying to be rude to you specifically but here's the bottom line.
Your modifications mean nothing to me as a buyer. Common sense dictates that if you built a big strong fast engine,, you beat it so you could enjoy the big strong fast engine.
You can list it for any price you want,, but it's not going to sell for much more then other bikes in your area are currently selling for.
Notice I said currently selling for,, not what's currently being listed

I'll take a different approach-sell the bike and buy the camaro.
I'll sum it up here; there are thousands upon thousands of street glides available and HD is still making them. There are not thousands upon thousands of split bumper camaros around. And GM (chevrolet) doesn't make the 71 camaro anymore. Hasn't for 47 years and won't ever make them again.
There's my .02cents

the only thing that makes it worth any more than a stock bike would be if the potential buyer absolutely had to have that mod that you did. otherwise, in reality, it actually detracts from the price. the prospective buyer is thinking about how much he is going to have to spend to mod the bike to his liking, not yours.
