My guess is that one party is going to walk away with $ 15K and the other will ride away with a sweet deal.

RE: Bike Value?
The deal usually comes down to financing. It's a lot easier for most to put 4-5K down on a new unit and finance, than to come up with 15-20K cash. That's why big $$ bikes are hard to unload....I say it sits for a while at 18k, but would sell at 15,900....

That's the grim reality of selling a bike with a lot of extras. You may get top dollar, but you'll have to find someone that appreciates all that you've done to the bike. The average person will buy new rather than spend a like amount of money on a decked-out bike.
Regardless, that's a beauty.

Kelly Blue Book says $14,850.00, you don't get a lot of mony back on parts added on and considering a brand new 08 is about $18,000.
I would guess you could try for $16000.00-$17000.00.
Looks nicely done!

RE: Bike Value?
I appreciate everybodies feedback, after all that is why he asked me to bring it to the Forum.
Unlike everybody else, there is a collected amount of experience and knowledage on the value of what a bike is worth to the 'keen" eye.

RE: Bike Value?
A really good way to get top dollar right now is to place it in a good location along side a busi road and wait for an impulse buyer.
sounds like he already knows the bikes value?

The parts alone make the bike.

RE: Bike Value?
I to had acustomized hdat one time thatinstead of selling it and takin a hit cause no one wanted to pay for my extras and it even devalued the bike in that no one wanted my "creation" (hard to find a buyer) so what I ended up doing is just riding it like I stole it for a few years (when not riding my other hd) til it was less of an issue because price of it now had leveled out,,had my fun and sold it quick for the going price with no regrets
