Sorry you are having to sell the bike. Sounds like it's all fixed-up and ready to ride some now. Most of those are mods anyone would like. You shouldn't have any problem selling it at this time of the year. However, unfortunately, as we all know most if not all of the after market mods we do will retrieve very much resale value. Hoping you will find someone that appreciates what you have done to that bike. There will be some guys that will say that they don't like a bike with mods, they want an ugly ***, poor performing stock bike. Luckily that's not what you have!!

 

When someone comes to look at your 2011 RKC w/ 13,500 miles on it, I don't think your long list of add-ons is going to make much of a difference. It is still a 2011 Road King with 13,500 miles on it. You can ask whatever you think all those extras are worth, but it is not likely you will get anything extra for them. Book value is just that and very little, if any, more. You can ask anything you want, but at the end of the day, book value is book value, especially when you have a bank looking at it for a loan. When I was presented with a similar situation a few years ago, I stripped most of the add-ons from the bike and returned it to stock. Then I sold the add-ons on Ebay. I did not get a huge price for the parts but at least I didn't have to give them away like I would have when I sold or traded the bike.

 

Retrop is right. strip it down make it as close to stock and you can and resale it all on ebay or craigs list. then look at who ever is buying it and say i have all these upgrade if your intrested. but book is book

 

I agree selling what you can of the after market stuff. Shoot, I may be interested in the Custom Dynamics stuff!

 

Thanks, guys, appreciate the input. About what I expected. I'm thinking I could sell it for $17-17.5 if I'm patient. Understand the points about add-ons. Probably leave the exhaust and cams, but take a lot of the others. Additional opinions welcome.

I agree, take what parts you can off, sell the bike and the parts seperate.

In your case, and many others, you probably have thousand of $ worth of extras on the bike, however, I dont think you would ever come close to selling the bike for Blue Book plus what you have in after market stuff. I think most people with just go with buying a new bike once you got at or near 2013 RK price. Good luck, sux either way

 

If you have time market it like it is first ,maybe some one who understands what you have done will take it.It is funny how dealers will by low and sell high. They might have to sit on a bike till the right person comes by.

 

There are some people that expect to get $$$$$ for the extras

If I was you I'd put it on the market now and ask what you really want for it. Then if no takers by the end of season strip it and adjust price. Now is the time to get what you can though.
