    You are making an assumption that the potential buyer wants what you like and therefore limiting your audience. I bought my F6B with a bunch of extras. It had a Cobra Six-2-Six exhaust, Mustang Tripper Seat, Floorboards, National Tall GW Windscreen and Genuine Honda LED Fog Lights. Everything came off and was sold besides the perfect fitting Honda Fog Lights. The loud heavy poor material exhaust was swapped out for the high quality perfect fitting GL1800 exhaust, the ill fitting Mustang seat was switched to the OEM which allowed the side covers to be removed without removing the seat, the windshield with distortion was swapped out to the Genuine Honda Tall with Vent, the floorboards that forced a heel toe shifter use was swapped to the OEM takeoffs from a trike conversion. Now my F6BD is back to stock and to my liking. Good part was I sold the parts and purchased brand new takeoffs and still had a $1,000 leftover. I was sly enough to realize I can do that but some others might just walk away. My advice would be sell you parts and put the bike back to stock to have the larger audience potential.

    I agree with Joflewbyu2, Put it back to stock and sell your parts, There are a lot of folks willing to buy aftermarket parts if they are priced right. I have bought and sold a few parts as well. Seats and windshields
    are always available for sale here. Lots of riders are trying different combinations before they find the exact one that works.

    Careful Big LRY, I was eyeballing that seat you have on yours! Build for Men of Substance! At least that's what the folks at the Big and Tall tell me every-time I stop by!

    Haha, you will have to pry my DayLong saddle off my cold dead butt cause I will never ride without a DayLong under me. Yep, I am definitly a man "of Substance" just ask my my pet cow she tells me so all the time.

    I agree with most of that, I pull of anything that is easy to revert back to stock. But I take my side covers off all the time with my Mustang seat installed.
