Default What's a fair asking price for this bike?

No room in the garage for 2 bikes, and have to let her go.

Going to sell it privately, but not sure what to ask. I know you can't recover the extras, but I figure they should help keep the price at the top end of the appropriate range. Really, not fishing for an offer, just want to set the right asking price.

Here are the specs:

1993 Electra Glide Sport FLHS

78,000 mi (130,000 km).
Evolution engine.
Tons of power.
Runs smooth and clean - engine is strong.
SE4 Cam.
Entire top end redone (Cylinders honed, valves replaced, etc., etc.) at 56,000 mi.
Color matched Ultra TourPak added.
Color matched fairing lowers added (easy mount).
Excellent rubber front and back.
New brakes all around.
New stator last year.
New HD battery.
Kuryakyn Hypercharger.
White Brothers “E”-Series tuneable mufflers.
Adjustable air-filled front suspension.
Chrome additions include; headlight nacelle (HD steel one - not aftermarket), levers and switch housings, grips, tranny covers (top and side), regulator, derby cover, timing cover, fork lowers (not installed yet), fender skirt, fender tip lights, light visors, and much more.
Braided S/S throttle and idle cables, clutch cable and brake lines.
+2” HD handlebars.
12V outlet for handlebar-mounted accessories.
Sidebag and Tourpak luggage.
Have the original FLHS seat, breather, SE mufflers, bars, controls, nacelle, passenger backrest and 3-channel luggage rack as well.
Very clean, well maintained bike.
Stored indoors and properly winterized.

Included 2 pictures for reference. Some items have been changed since the pics were taken. The list above is accurate.

I'd probably be asking right around $ 8,000 IMHO

Nice bike,rather hang on to her than see her go too low.

Default Soft market

I bought my used FLHTCUI in January and it was a very soft market here in WI. I wouldn't have looked at your bike because of the high mileage, and the mods. But you only need one person who likes your bike to make a sale. So I would say all your extras, offset the high mileage and just go to KBB or Nada Guides and set your price through there. I believe they have a price for private party sales. I sold my old bike on Craigslist, and got several calls the first warm day in March, and sold it right away because I priced it low. If your not getting any calls lower your price. I think I was lucky, and looking at a good time, but I got a 2003 100th Anniversary FLHTCUI Silver/Black , Gold Key Package with only 2,000 miles for $13,700. And that was from a dealer who goes through the bike and does a safety check, fluids change and replaced any obvious faulty parts. I bought from a dealer because I didn't know if I could trust a private party, and thought I could always complain to HD if I felt the dealer screwed me. Good luck.

high miles? it's almost twenty years old, how many miles should it have? I think $7000 to $7500 is probably what you'd get- I'd ask 8K and go from there.

Post on the evo section,to see what they think but $8000 asking is about right and try to get $7500. At least that's what ebay has them listed for.
Good luck.

it's got an evo which to me seems to be a very good thing. it sure looks like a great bike, good luck with your sale. as far as price goes, you got the right time of the year to sell it.
