What is the value of this trike?

[Smilam]

My neighbor recently pass away and I am trying to help his wife do something with his trike.
I know some about Goldwing trikes but next to nothing about Harley Davidsons so I am looking for some help to price this trike.
It is a 2006 Harley Davidson Ultra with a Lehman Renegade trike kit. It only has 10,742 miles on it. The sales receipt didn't give any indication on what options were on the trike, not even the Lehman conversion and I don't know what is standard and what are options on it. His wife could only find a receipt for the arm rest but knew he bought a different windshield and the touring pack. He bought this trike in November of 2012 and hardly ever rode it. It has spent most of its time since he bought it covered and in the garage.
I have attached a couple of pictures and might be able to answer questions if you can tell me what to look for and where to look. I don't know if these items are stock or add on's.

She said he got something for the passenger seat so that she could ride with him but doesn't know if that was part of the touring package.
Any help pricing this trike will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, What you can sell it for is what you can get a buyer to pay. You have a 2006 HD conversion.

Something like that can go for 12 to 15 k. This trike does have some extras but what they are worth is only defined by how much they mean to a buyer. The rear arm rests are nice. The CB Tour Pac Intercom brake are things that would be expected to be on this type of trike. The chrome accents on the inner fairing look nice and the chrome front wheel is also something above the norm. Now one thing I did notice is that the heads have manual compression relief valves. This indicates that the engine has had some serious work done on it. (Increased displacement) how much would be a guess. The stock motor was 88 cu. in I would think MAYBE a 103 or 107 kit on it.

Only a guess. Just from the pictures and the low mileage towards the mid teens in a price would be nice to get. But the down side is this year had the 5 speed transmission. Finding a willing buyer is the hard thing. Good luck. My opinion only. Find a buyer that really likes it and maybe even 16 to 17 k could be possible.

Good eye Ted! I hadn't noticed the compression releases.

From what I've seen them sell for around here with that low mileage and condition I would think more in the UPPER teens and start out in the Low 20's. Markets are different everywhere so it boils gown to what someone is willing to pay. I don't know her financial situation, but if she is not desperate for cash, I would hold out for the right buyer. That Trike has a lot going for it.

JMHO:Shrug:

 

[cavie]

that's over $20,000 in Florida.

Same color as my 06, Brandywine Sunglow. I'm betting the engine is either a 95" or 98", going larger would mean splitting the cases to install a crank with a longer stroke. Sure is a clean looking trike, shouldn't be much problem selling it.

 

[Steve on 3]

Sweet trike but all in all a 9 year old trike. New would have been about $34k. As others have said, the chrome is nice but generally does not add to the sales price. I would think mid teens would be a decent price. They might try Kelly Blue Book. I am not sure if they list conversions but at elast you could get a figure about twhat the base bike before conversion is worth, then add $ from there.

Good luck

There's a simple formula, On that;

What the buyer is willing to pay, And what the seller is willing to take. :Shrug:

 

[4cRanch]

If I were selling $17K

If I were buying $14K

 

[Condor]

If I were selling $17K

If I were buying $14K

Ditto.....

Thanks for the replys and information. I did't notice the compression releases when I was taking pictures. I think I understand the idea behind them as far as reducing the compression during startup, but can you explain how to use them properly? Do you just push them down to open them and then hit the starter and then they close back after the engine starts automaticly or do they have to be manually pushed again to close them? Is there any way to tell how much engine work was done without getting into the engine?
I tried looking it up in Kelly Blue Book but couldn't find any prices on the conversions. The other thing was I don't know what all of the different letter designations are that Harley uses. The sales slip we found said the model was a Ultra and I thought the Ultra was a model designation that I had heard of before but KBB only listed Ultra Screaming Eagle. Is it possible that this is a Ultra Screaming Eagle?
He paid $21950 for this trike in Nov. of 2012 and I was hoping that I could tell her that she could start the price at $21000 and come down a little bit to make the sale.
All information is appreciated.

I don't know how they work on the Harley, I had them on a few Honda Big Red's.
And I would think they work about the same, Push up on the release, Hit the starter and they reset, If the engine doesn't start, Then you have to set them [push up] again.

On my friends Harley he has to push them down instead of pull up. but same principal. I agree that is NOT a pure stock engine. There is a lot of compression there to need compression release.

It is not a CVO (Screaming Eagle).

If you can wait until warmer weather hits for a week or 2 an dyou start seeing bikes out riding is your better time to sell. Good part is even it being a 06 financing should not be a problem.
I would consider starting with around $19,000 and with a low limit of $17,000, maybe $16,000. It needs to be rode some and cleaned up before putting it up for sale. Not detail cleaning you want the bottom like it normally is, this will help with a sale from someone that knows something about bikes.

Forgot, I also suggest going to the dealer and get a copy of all the work that has been done. You may even find out about the engine and trike kit if they did it.

2006 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI Electra Glide Ultra Classic KBB:
Excellent Condition$12,000
I'm calling the conversion $7,000(age but, low milage, assuming it was triked when the bike was new????)
$19K.
IMHO, any offers under that are trying to take advantage or don't know the value of trikes!

 

[Smilam]

Thanks for the information. I wondered about contacting the dealer he bought it from to see if they happened to have any information about that trike. I don't know if they will give me the information or not since I was not the buyer or if they even have any information on it.
There are three Harley Davidson dealers here in the Kansas City area and all three of them pissed him off so he went 175 miles south to Wichita to buy it.
The weather here last week was in the 70's and even hit 84 one day so everybody has been getting their bikes out around here. This week has dropped back into the 50's and was drizzling rain all day today but we are needing some rain because it has been so dry.

As others said on the compression releases, just push them in and they should pop back out when the engine starts. Sometimes they get a little fouled from combustion gasses and won't pop out when the engine starts. A little shot of WD40 in the little vent hole will free them up, if one or don't pop out you can also just grab the top and pull it out to close the release. As dirtdobber said, its not a CVO bike. I'm betting it has some Screamin eagle parts in it, there is no good way of telling what has been done to the engine without either finding out who did the work or taking it apart. With the addition of compression releases the heads may even have been ported, which you won't know without taking it apart.

What might make it a tough sell is not being able to tell perspective buyers what has been done to the engine. Another thought which comes to mind is how was it tuned, some piggy back tuner such as a PCIII or PCV, SERT, etc. If it is a PCIII or PCV chances are it will be zip tied to the front of the ECM which is located under the right side cover. If it has a flash tuner such as the old SERT it will be a separate dongle which the owner should have stored someplace safe.

The Blue book does have trike conversions in it.
First you go find the value of the bike as a 2 wheel, then go to the section that has the trike conversions in it, and add the 2 values together

Just me , But I always wanted a Harley going back 10/15 years. [Had Japanese bikes since the 60's] And not thinking the price of a new one was worth the price of admission' I would always look at used ones only to find that just about every one had their engine monkeyed with so I never got one. The first Harley I bought was a new 2011 T/G.. I don't think I'm alone thinking like that.. So a modified bike isn't always a asset, :Shrug: And might have to be priced accordingly....

 

[rhino 2]

That's just it, One never knows what was done, Or How it was done....
Some mechanics will tighten a nut till it strips, Then back off a 1/4 turn, Button it up and send it on it's way.. When You buy something that was modified, Then you have to be prepared to spent money to unmodified it...

 

[Smilam]

I agree that the engine modifications would scare me away from buying it. If I knew who worked on it and what kind of reputation they had it might make a difference but not knowing who worked on it and exactly what was done would make it a no sale for me.
I have a friend who is thinking about going to three wheels but I will not suggest that he look at this one.
I just need to call her and let her know what you all have told me and let her see if she can find any more information about it and decide what she wants to do.
