Question Is bike easier sold modded or standard?

As above!! I am looking to do a few mod's to my bike, was curious to see whether i should sell the standard parts which i replace with new items or keep the standard bits to allow me to return to standard for sale??

Thanks
Ricky

Makes no difference worth the hassle, IMO.

Dunno but I sold all my parts and made a tidy packet. £20 levers, £40 indicators, £20 screen, £50 exhaust. I have kept the rear seat and grab rail though.

better keeping the standard parts and sell the goodies if you sell the bike.

Mods may make a bike more attractive and therefore easier to sell, but you rarely recover the cost of the parts. If you want to sell it quick, leave the mods on. If you want to make money, take them off and sell separately.
