Default How many of you save your old OEM parts?

Naturally we know that if you trick our your bike you don't get the money back out of it, so it's more economically sound to remove the custom parts to sell separately and put the OEM parts back on a scoot before you sell it. Of course then you have a box or two or three of OEM parts sitting around for God knows how long. How many of you hang on to those old parts? Most of the little parts aren't a hassle, but my OEM seat is taking up alot of space.

What do you guys keep and what do you sell?

I kept my stock r/s/t lens when I installed my LEDs. But the shop kept my AC and pipes. That's all I've done.

You let the shop keep that stuff? I'd at least get it back to sell. Even if you got $100, it's $100.

I have saved everything except my grips. Had to cut the left one so couldnt be bothered to keep then. But lept lenses, tail lights, gas caps and gauges. You never knpw when you may need to chage back or something you added fails.

Why would the shop keep you AC and pipes? You paid for them when you bought the bike, so theyre yours to keep.

I have all of my stuff off of my Deluxe but only because I dont know what to do with them. But I am sure that the next time I clean the garage out I will probably throw that stuff away.

Kept the little bit-o-parts I have removed so far.Soon as I do the next service, changing out the stock exhaust, a.c. and adding a tuner. Yeah I'm slow, but can't wait to save those on the wall too! Just in case
