It's worth what a bank will loan on it. Some credit unions will give an accessory allowance. They did that for me on one of my SxS. However only factory accessories. Motorcycles and autos are depreciating assets, not investments. Harleys don't hold their value like they used to. The bike is almost 10 years old. The banks will be less likely to loan, or charge higher interest. The system is setup to entice people to buy brand new. Also this economy sucks to try and sell anything.

 

....or just keep riding and leave the wife at home. Her loss, not yours, unless she's the boss in the relationship.

 

Sell the bike and lose thousands, or buy a solo seat a lose worries.

 

As a few posts allude to, single seat, keep riding, although not necessarily necessary, as you can just leave her at home? Not 24/7 mind you but should be a two way street since she’s not interested and you still want to ride, or do you? Easy call, keep enjoying your sweet ride as it is, or take a loss. You will not come close to getting what you put in to it. Good luck!

 

so give her a kiss, a pat on butt and say see ya when I get back

..L.T.A.

 

I've had the most luck using Cycletrader. I've sold a few custom bikes over the years.

 

It`s worth what someone will pay for it...

 

I had a wide like that once. So, how do you spell relief ????? D I V O R C E Did 101,000 miles without her, but I did send postcards from 38 states!!!!!

 

I'm local to you and see you've posted it again on CL. I was going to ask Josh if this ever sold when it originally dropped, but always skipped over talking to him.

1) Its a super clean bike and don't take my suggestions wrong. Ive read your ads on details, also have used Josh on my performance bagger build and aware of his work.

$32k.... Granted it looks sharp and great paint. The price is too much for not enough motor and general build. Air suspension, the fat tire conversion, wheel and single front disc setups are turnoffs for most. At least in our area performance baggers are the $$ and honestly its not a performance bagger build. The majority would spend $$ less on a newer ST bagger.

Super rough time to sell of course, but if you're not getting a few calls..... Its like everything else, asking too much for what you have.

I don't know about the wife..... Hell, mine stopped riding after our first almost 30 years ago.... Im still a daily rider (since late 80s) and seven bikes in the garage... If the bike lights your fire and you're gonna take a big hit selling, dont let it go. If you truly wanna keep riding.

But wish you GLWS.

 

First off you have a really sharp bike. Very nicely done.

Unfortunately most people that want a highly custom bike have their own unique design ideas and build their own. With custom anything there is a limited buyer pool.

With only 11k miles in 9 years you did not ride much at all. Way less than average. The bike is not going to appreciate. You’ll eventually realize it’s better to just take the hit then continue paying upkeep, license, taxes, insurance etc for something not used or enjoyed.

It starts with listing the bike and giving a lot of pictures, full description of the build, total itemized investment and maybe just stating “Fair Offers Considered” and see what happens.

Best of luck to you.
