Default Another "what do you think its worth" game.. please input your thoughts

Hey guys I know I always am posting The "what do you think its worth" thread. But I like to get a vast opinion on prices from around the states. And I always appreciate your honesty weather good nor bad as it helps keep everyone on thier toes in this hd world.

Heres what I have: Most of you have seen some pics of my bike on here and I just wanted to post a feeler to see what members thought it might be worth or what I could HONESTLY get out of it if I were to sell on ebay or cycletrader something like that. Go ahead and be honest i dont mind the comments either way.

2002 Electra glide. 2nd owner. Clean and clear title. 75k miles (on the frame and lower engine only!) Please keep that in mind.

Everything listed is new* Sg front and rear fender with skirt fillar/ tri bar. All sg signals and headlight. gas tank console. guages. inner fairing painted, hd leather seat, chrome front end, chrome switches all that, internal wiring, lowering kit in front fully rebuilt, sg rear shocks, 21" pm front wheel, chrome rear wheel, chrome pulley, chrome rotors, chrom axles, led tailight, smoked lenses with recessed rings, chrome outer primary, chrome trans top, cam cover, oil cover, oil spout, oil cap, braided brake lines and clutch cable throttle/ idle cable, battery, powder coated crashbar, rear sg bars, screamin eagle exhaust, cam gears, sg floorboardss and pegs, kickstand, wiring, stereo system, fairing mirrors, all bolts, gaskets, hardware pretty much replaced, bike completely painted and cleared and reassembled.

Basically this is just a general list I made I bought the bike from the origianl owner who rode it daily. I bought it and took it down to the frame. Rebuilt it from the frame up replacing practically every nut, bolt, washer, gasket, body tin, etc. Everything is brand new with less than 500 miles on it and I had the top half of the engine fully serviced so it runs as good as it looks. It has cam gears doesn't burn oil, starts every time cold/hot runs excellant on the freeway speeds up to 80mph. I have a very good amount of $$$ Invested and i beleive I put it where it needed to be. Just generally if I was to put it up for sale like on ebay what do you guys think this bike could sell for in the condition its in now. Also have a full picture cd of the original bike, tear down, and the full rebuild as well as a bible of reciepts. i know there not worth **** even though you spend a million dollars at hd for the parts but just looking for honest ideas. I love my bike and am very proud of it and if someone was to offer the right price on it while they seen me on the road I wouldn't hesitate I would sell and buy another one to build. But I get stopped all the time on the streets and people always are intrested just dont know the $$$ I should be looking for. Thanks for all the input guys and also comments are always appreciated good or bad as long as they are honest. Thank you so much!!!!!!! Shaun

Heres the bike if you havent seen it.

Thanks guys yeah the mileage sucks but the mileage is really only on the frame since I damn near replaced every part on it. I guess it would have to be the right buyer to appreciate all the custom work and attention to detail to get that better money out of it. Even at 11k thats not bad it would get me back at least the money for the wheels and paint..lol

From what I see in this area i'd say 10k max. Slot of it has to do with the economy right now.

First of all.... the mileage doesn't "suck" you GOT your use out of the bike.... really
what more could you want. Sure... if the bike never left the garage that resale value MIGHT be higher..... but when you factor in the taxes, insurance and everything, a bike that sat around does NOT give you much return
The problem, with "custom" work... is you need to find that ONE guy, who shares your vision. A lot of guys will just buy your bike, and then start to UN-do your work
