Keeping track
Ok maybe i need a life but was wondering how many others keep track of the extra parts that they put on by doing the following:
1. take pics
2. keep track on computer of the part name, part number, catalog, page number and cost
My insurance policy only covers up to 3000.00 at this point. I have around 2800.00 extras so far, and when finished with what i plan to put on will be over 5000.00. So i am thinking about upping the coverage and will have proof of what i have installed and the costs involved.
As another note what do most of you do with the stock parts that you take off. I mean cant think that there is a huge market for them. Was thinking about keeping so can replace them on the bike if I would ever choose to trade in. But then again by then might find other items that i like better.

The good thing about keeping track as you indicated in #2 is that if you go down and you bring the scoot to a dealer when the insurance adjuster comes in, they go through all the parts that need replacing. This helps them on insurance estimates for replacement costs.

Before I ordered my FLHRC I went through the accessory catalog and made a list of the page, part #, description and cost of all the parts I wanted, one list of stuff that I wanted done when I ordered the bike and another list of stuff I could get later, which was easy to email to family when they asked what I'd like for Christmas. I'd mark the items off as I got them. This got me going on a list of non-Harley parts I got for the bike. With two Harleys I can keep track of all the stuff I want as the funds grow.
My insurance covers about $9K in accessories and modifications and an agent came out when I got the bike and took photos and I gave him the list.

I just keep a basic list on my computer so that I can give it to the next owner when the time comes. I suppose having the list for insurance reasons is a good one too.

I do the same, take pics, scan reciepts then save to a flash drive. I do this because what a friend of mine went through with an insurance company once. His truck was stolen and when the truck was recovered the wheels/tires were gone. The insurance company told him that they could only provide him with a stock set since that what was indicated by the VIN number. He was able to then produce a picture of the truck and they finally agreed. This is whay i do!
