Way to go! Not bad at all for a '13 with less than 1k on the clock.
I agree on the title type\selling price.Sounds good. Only thing is that if your planning on keeping it for a very long time than its good but if you go to sell or trade it in, it will most likely have a salvage title which will cut book value to less than half. May be extreamly hard to sell or trade, especially if the bags and not stock to the bike for that year and model.
True but what I meant was when i see a particular bike without factory equipment such as bags I start to wonder why they were changed out. First thing that comes to mind is the bike was down. I would stick to factory everything for the year. If the bike was old it would be a different story but who changes out the bags on an almost new touring bike unless it was down, just saying, now if he's in for the long haul then it doesn't matter.I agree on the title type\selling price.
But, IMO, bag year is hardly a concern. We are`t talking a numbers matching Classic restoration here.
If it`s already titled as a salvage. What does it matter. Potential buyer should already know.True but what I meant was when i see a particular bike without factory equipment such as bags I start to wonder why they were changed out.

Buyer won't get it as salvage. New buyer should get it as a blue-tag or reconstructed title. Once totaled, the original vin is only applicable via paper. A new vin will be supplied by the state. Prevents thieves from selling a totalled bike as a clean title or vin.If it`s already titled as a salvage. What does it matter. Potential buyer should already know.
Do`t know all the in`s and outs. Seem`s each State varies in the way they do things.Buyer won't get it as salvage. New buyer should get it as a blue-tag or reconstructed title.

I guess each state is a little different. In Kentucky you can't license a vehicle with a salvage title. You present the salvage title with a list of all the parts, paint, labor required to make the vehicle safely operable along with an inspection report to DMV in Frankfort. They review your information and affidavit and grant you a "rebuilt" title. Same procedure for motorcycles or cars/trucks. I buy and sell rebuilds so I'm use to the procedure and pitfalls. I bought the bike to ride and thought it would be fun to build it. I wanted cop bags instead of the regular saddlebags as they're much easier to get into, IMHO. All the bags, tour bag are all HD parts and will be painted the correct color coded paint. I've taken a lot of photos which I will share with a perspective buyer/owner when the time comes. I found with selling branded titled vehicles once repaired they sell for 20-25% less than a clean titled vehicle and it takes a little longer. I sold a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Pickup last week for 20% less than retail and it took 10 days. I had 50% less than retail in the vehicle. It isn't for everyone but since loosing my wife to breast cancer its been good therapy.Buyer won't get it as salvage. New buyer should get it as a blue-tag or reconstructed title.

Would`t put the same sort of behavior\attempt past my last x. Women can be real :locoWow...sounds like she needs the same treatment that she gave the bike.... Crazy!!!!
