Well, you are probably not even come close to recovering the cost of your mods. Best bet is, if you still have the stock parts, put them back on your scooter before you trade it in. Then sell your parts. A dealer does not care about your mods. Most folks, when buying used prefer stock as a stove.

Modifications or additional items add little if anything to bike at trade-in. Unless you have some unusual relationship with dealer then expect maybe 10%-20% of part value and 0% labor. Sometimes people remove high demand items and sell on ebay at 50%- 60% of new value.. depends on what you want and how much time you have.
