no disrespect intended, I promise
But this is the second time in a week a thread like this popped up.
(trying to sell a low mile bike with a ton of expensive mods )

It makes me wonder why someone would drop so much money into a bike before they know if they like riding.
Mileage suggests they don't like riding


..L.T.A.

Start at MSRP and be prepared to go down from there. Keep it and enjoy it at your leisure. Good luck to you.

Likely will sell at what average retail is for a 2015. Someone may be willing to pay a little more for your mods. Looks ok but finding some one that wants what was done to it. 2015 9 years old. At 10 years HD does not even want to work on it. Will take a while.

Default Actually

Been seeing a few bikes at dealerships, mainly dodge as that’s my buddy’s preferred brand but seems you may be able to trade it in on a new car for the “wife” since she’s the one not wanting it. Probably have better luck off loading it that way and although you won’t get anything that way either, you have a new vehicle with payments still.

As an aside, have a pro show you how to take staging photos. For what you have, it's almost impossible to see. Plus, there is waaaay too
much stuff behind the bike.

Here's what I mean.

A car salesman once told me "there's a *** for every seat"
You just have to find him. If you want top money you must advertise, advertise, wait, lower price and advertise some more.
It's a Twin Cam. People with deep pockets want the newer tech, keep this in mind with your pricing.

Having a customized bike is awesome until its time to sell. Then you learn how much money you pissed away modding it.
