Investment in mods are for you and not the next owner. Mods do not add value to vehicles. Some mods devalue a vehicle.
Stock appeals to the majority of buyers. Mod your bike but keep the stock parts for when you sell.

That got my attention too. I had 11,000 miles on my '02 Sporty in just over a year. He's got that on a '96 & the engine only has 800? Good luck with that.

WOW!! $20,000 in extras!
I bet the eagle on the derby cover was $6,000 by itself. I think it's a bargain.

Some fool will buy it because there are a lot of fools out there. And it has special paint for Germany, you know.

With that few a miles in that many years, I bet that bike sat for a long time. And because of that, the seals let loose and leaked like a crazy thus needing the rebuild. Evos are known to have the tranny seals needing replacing, and the base gaskets, and, and, and,...etc.

Regardless .... way to much money for that bike.

I am going with the "Sorry Honey, nobody wants my bike. Guess we will have to keep it." Routine.
