You might be better off trying to sell it on Ebay unfortunately for that price. Trying to sell your bike for almost $10k over retail value is tough in any case, as add-ons, while pricey when purchased (and including labor), don't add up to much in the way of value when it's time to sell. Realistically anything over $20k is going to be tough, which is why I suggested Ebay (even there I didn't see any 03 UC's going for over $19k. The only ones that even had bids were in the $15-16k range).
Like I needed your negative opinion! Because you dont see a value in "add-ons" or upgrades doesnt make it fact.

Just reality buddy. I haven't met one person yet on any of these Harley forums that sees the value of add-ons, not $12k worth at least! It's the same on cars; just because you add a $7k turbo, doesn't mean 3 years down the line it's going to worth even half that! Not to mention its the end of the season for most locations.
If you sell it for what you hope, I'll bow down. It's a beautiful bike, no doubt about it.
Good luck! (Honestly!)

100% right !! I ran into the same prob. when I sold my 2000. As many add-ons as yours & it didn't matter. Also thanks to the MOCO for making every bike an Anniv for the 100th , that does'nt help the price either. Befor the Anniv were limited & numbered.
