Torque and Chrome

what does one do with the motorcycle parts that are replaced by the upgrade/shiny accessories?

i just bought a new honda aero shadow vt750. before it left the dealer i had whitewall tires, new grip handles, and other stuff put on. now what do i do with the stuff that was taken off? with all the accessorizing that goes on with motorcycle what do you all do with the replaced items?

1. Sell them on Ebay.
2. i second the ebay answer
3. Throw them away or sell them to a repair shop or salvage.
4. Take em' to a swap meet or put them in the classifieds.. people are constantly wrecking & denting up their bikes & may just need yer parts.
5. dont sell em. how many bikes have you had? that dont matter anyway it will fall sometime and its good to have stuff like that so you can ride the next day without risking having to special order something for it.
6. well i would keep the parts in case you need to replace the new chrome parts for any reason, also if you decide to sell the bike down the road, the person who might buy it might want it to be in it's originals state, sell them with the bike. put them in a box mark it with the name and make of your bike and called PARTS, put it in the garage. i like to tell all my biker friends to "ride a mile for me" so if you will "ride a mile for me", i used to ride a motorcycle until a cager hit me and my leg was amputated. one day i want to ride again. but until then i ask all my biker friends to "ride a mile for me"
7. keep them and when you sell the bike for a Harley you have something to remember it by?
8. Save them. If you sell the bike the buyer might want them.
9. Well, you could sell them on ebay, but I think that if you have the space it's a good idea to keep them around so that you have spares in case something malfunctions or breaks. If nothing else, at least if you sell it later on you'll be able to say you also have the stock parts.
10. Definitely keep the tires... Your new whitewalls will wear out in 8 to 10K miles, and you'll need to replace them. The rest of the stuff probably doesn't have that much commercial value, so either toss them in a box in the garage or directly into the trash... Depends on how much storage space you have.
11. Hang them on the wall of the garage or living room. There's nothing wrong with decorating the garage.
