If you do install mods, you may get 40 to 50K max. Don't let anyone bullshit you into thinking you will get a good resale or return on a mod. You wont. Plus the 07 Engine has weak bearings on the crank. We get way to many bikes in with crank bearing issues.

We install stages all day, but everyone knows if you want long life out of that engine, leave it alone. Just my 2 .
well said, I agree

Man you guys are having a real pissing match here, haven't seen anything this interesting in months.
Personally I buy a bike to keep it and I spend what ever it takes to get what I want, I know I'm never going to get anymore money for my bike just because it has a bunch of other crap on it (and mine has a lot of crap on it!)
I'm saving for a HQ103 kit, I have one of there kits on one of my Sportster currently and I'm really hoping there 103 kit will run close to as good as my Sporster does now.
To the guy that said there's a 1,000,000 ways to skin a cat, unfortunately 999,995 of the ways you could end up with poop on your hands.
