Trade in values for my king!!
Maybe it's me, but I went see trade in for my 2011 Roadking in a HD dealership, closed to my job, this guy look in my face and told me, my bike value was only $9,500 dollars, he got this face like he was doing a favor to me!! ... he told me, my bike need new a new tire on the back and 10k miles service and I need to paid for it!! ...My bike is 2011 Roadking and have $6k dollars in extras on it, all HD parts. I asked for some money for the extras, he just gave me another $500 for the extras!! ...2 weeks ago I went to Vic and metric store and trade in values for my Roadking was $12,800 (that's the KBB) and walked out!! ...I know dealership have to make money but this dealership have a used 2010 Roadking stock pipes, no extras, used tires like my bike, with 8k miles for 17k dollars!! ...And yes,I did check KBB trade in values on my bike (times where HD keep their values are long gone).

Exactally! Never count on getting a penny back for all the extra add-ons. That's money down the drain.
A $19K bike with $10K in add-on accessories doesn't have even close to the loan or trade-in value as a $29K bike that's 100% stock.

As stated earlier if you are going to trade I would make it as close to stock as you could. Sell the parts you took off to recoup some of your money, or try to sell it outright but look at what you are selling it for vs. the tax difference on trade in. Good luck.
