One thing I learned when I took that year selling Harleys is that you rarely get the money spent upgrading a bike back. Sellers would come in with thousands of dollars of genuine HD accessories on their bikes and we'd offer book value. Pissed a lot of customers off, bit there it was. Buyers want the fun of choosing and installing the accessories.
Best idea IMO is to save every OEM part, return the bike to stock when you sell it, and then sell the accessories individually.
Go hagofuku yourself.

So true, but what the he!!. Dealer is the last place I'd go to sell a bike. Craigslist or Ebay will net significantly more, provided you find the right person who knows what he's looking for and appreciates what you've got. Yeah, that's a big if.
I'm approaching Ack in terms of accessory spending, close to ten grand. I know I won't recoup 10% of that. But oh what fun! If I get $9k for a bike I spent 20K on that will still be a great down payment on a new CB. They better come out with a 2015 model or I'll be hanging on to mine for a few more years.
Ack - that's an amazing bike!

Good lord, if you get that HP4, be careful with it on Nantucket. If you get a little ham-fisted you may very well shoot off into the ocean!
