Default Higher resale value

Im going to sell my bike due to financial issues. So im wondering what can I do to it to make a higher resale vaule. Im replacing the seat, puting the graphics back on, painting the exuast pipe and also replacing the indicator bulb, but what eles can I do to increase its value?

Are you talking about the '93? A bike that old will be flat in value - damage or abuse will lower its value, but add-ons and eye candy won't do much to raise it. Don't do more than you have to to make it appear that it's been well taken care of. You should put some time into detailing it, but won't recover much of your cash investment.

My 2 cents.
