Selling some OEM parts, need input
Recent purchase of a 1994 Electra Glide classic (see project thread here if you're interested) and I'm converting it to a Road King, for the most part. I've got the whole fairing collecting dust. If I ever go back to fairing it'll be aftermarket with big speaker holes and mounts for a Road King. I want it gone.
Now the question. Do I part it out on eBay or sell the whole thing as one complete fairing? The only thing that's broke is that stupid plastic piece that sits on the underside of the stereo cover and covers the handlebar mounts (one of the two mounting points is broke). Oh, and the speaker covers and speakers are gone.
I don't normally want to deal with breaking the whole thing down and I'd take $300 for the entire fairing as is. But if the speedo is worth $100, tach $75, etc... then it might be worth it.
Thoughts?

This! Try to part it out and ten years from now, youll still be sitting on half the parts.

My thing is more the dollar amount. If I pull $300 from the whole fairing, versus a few parts off of it I certainly won't be leaving it around for years. It'll go in the trash. I don't like clutter.

If you don't like clutter, your mind is almost made up! Sell it in one go and don't break it up.
