2008 Anniversary Saddlebag Value?
Hey guys, I am pulling off my factory saddlebags and installing stretched ones. Just curious if there is much value in a near perfect complete pair of saddlebags for the anniversary bikes? Just curious if they are worth my time to list & sell. What would they even be worth?

I can't help you for yours..........but I looked on Ebay, found prices of ppl selling bags, I priced mine at a similar price point on Craigslist for local selling only and all of my stuff sold fast. There was a local indie who does a lot of repair work who bought all of my stock stuff and repainted them to match others' bikes for repair.

You have two possible buyers: someone with, perhaps, a damaged Anniversary bike who wants stock bags to make it look again; or someone like me who simply wants a cheap decent set of those bags and will repaint them. I'm not prepared to pay very much, but the first chap may be prepared to pay a bit more! (I have recently bought a set of near new ones, thanks!)

Try looking at eBay completed sales. See if there are similar bags and what they sold for. Unfortunately anyone can ask anything they want, but sold will give you a much better value figure.

In 2009 I bought a complete set of everything off a new FLHX street glide in pearl white.
Gas tank, side covers, front fender, rear fender, both bags with hardware and the fairing all shipped to my door for $1100.00. This was off a new bike in perfect condition. The guy bought one of those over priced HD limited paint sets.
All you can do is set a price you can live with, advertise and the market will tell you if you are in the right area. If they sell very fast you priced too low and if you don't get any calls you are probably too high.
Good luck

I think $300 is a decent price. Matter of fact, I wouldn't take less than that if they were mine. Try replacing your bags with OEM from the Harley parts department, and $300 will seem like you're giving them away.

I have an 08 105th Anniversary. If I was in the need of new bags, I would happily pay $300 for the set.
