Salvage?
If it's going to have a salvage title I would guess it would bring about $6500 if you got it back to A1 condition.
That's my guess anyway. People are afraid of bent frames and such from salvage bikes and they don't usually bring more than about half what they would if they had a clear title.

How are you considering reselling it?
As is, parting it out, restored?
My guess is you'd get the most by parting it out.
Restoring it probably wouldn't be worth it unless you plan to keep it for yourself. Once you buy all the parts, have everything painted and it all back together and checked out you still have an 11 y/o bike with a salvage title. That's gonna be a hard sell.
Any way you go at it, it's going to be a lot of work for an uncertain profit/outcome.

Are you sure the frame is bent? I bought a 2012 FLHTK with 3,000 miles on it, handle bars pointed left, wheel pointed right and the frame was Ok, just bent forks.
There is a 2 tone 2005 on eBay for $7800

Salvage or rebuilt title - 25% plus the time and parts to put it back together.
Like Larry said fix it and ride it, it would be a fun project.

If the bike is paid for and you retain the title and the bike, the title should stay the same. If the insurance company takes the title as a total then they will brand it as salvage. Check here for an idea as to its worth.
