Take a look at how much they are selling for on ebay. That's usually a good bellwether.

Unfortunately the upgrades don't get us what we think they should usually.

I would guess 13-14k in this market though.

The market indeed sucks. But your mods are desired by a large number of folks -- and many of them wouldn't want to go through the time, hassle, and expense of getting your motor built and tuned. I just bought an '05 Fatboy with 126 miles (yes, 126) for a song, but I would have been willing to pay a whole lot more for a bike like yours. Why don't you wait until spring -- when the pool of potential buyers should be much bigger -- and see if you can find somebody who knows what your bike is worth and is willing to pay a little more for it. That's what I'm going to try with my Streetbob, anyway. Good luck.

thats sort of the way im looking at it, if it was just alot of chrome or some other add ons maybe you wouldnt get a decent return, but these mods are all harley upgrades and among the most popular, recently a stock night train o8 like mine went for 13k with 14,000 miles had pipes and breather, so im thinking 16k is resonable for mine with the low miles and 4k in popular upgrades.. but i guess we will see
