Yeah, I wouldn't count on raking in much cash. There isn't a big market for the stock seat, exhaust, etc. Good luck if you decide to sell it though. Who knows? You might get lucky!

I keep mine. They have come in handy a few times, when the after market parts failed or were damaged.

OEM parts even on ebay are almost worthless, unless it's forward controls, wheels, tins or the motor. It's not worth the hassel and time to sell the stuff. Just keep it.

Sell. Throw away (recycle) broken items. Other items just sit arround for a few years, everything is for sale if a buyer shows up.

Yes, but I'll have to download them later. I'm at work & the camera/pics/exhaust are at home. I got a bunch of pics that need downloaded, but I rarely find the time to do so.

Sell what you can. You see a lot of guys who are holding on to parts that "Could break". Then, they find themselves selling parts pennies on a dollar at some flea market. Bike parts are like the saying goes:"Dam if you do or Dam if you don't". Good luck.

I agree that most used parts (OEM or aftermarket)aren't usually worth a whole lot unless they are "big ticket" items. Probably not too many folks looking for used airfilters, foot pegs etc. I usually get rid of anything I take off though, otherwise there is a pile of pieces parts that serve me no purpose. Try throwing some stuff on Craigslist. I found my black solo rack on there. It was cheap, good as new, and right down the road.
