How do you sell a bike? 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
What’s everyone’s opinion on selling a bike? Sell the bolts ons separate, then sell the bike stripped? Or sell all together? Thinking about selling the Roadstar I just picked up as it was a great deal and mostly purchased to clean up and sell. Already have a RSTD, Victory, and Electra Glide in the garage.

It has Tall passenger backrest, luggage rack, passenger floor boards, V&H short exhaust (loud), windshield with brackets, saddle bags with brackets and guards, small engine guards, passing lamps, and front fender trim.

Just looking for opinions. How do you sell a bike?

You will definitely get more for the accessories if you sell them separate. Do you have stock parts to replace some of the stuff with?

I have stock passenger pegs to replace the floor boards with. I would have to locate stock pipes and front blinker assembly.

I happen to have a stock turn signal assembly from my '07 at the house. If you want it, make me an offer + shipping

Get it as close to stock as possible. Then, be patient. Roadstars aren't exactly burning up the sales charts.

I would leave a few goodies on there just for enticement. And it might be more trouble than it's worth to locate stock parts and do the switching of all the parts.
