I've found an '07 RT for sale that looks good to me. However, it's equipped with the BMW Radio/CD option which is something I definitely don't care for. I'd rather have the regular glove box.
I'm sure that in the seller's mind, the radio adds to the bike's value and he probably expects to find a buyer who's happy to have it. So the cleanest way for me to make an offer is to keep my mouth shut about the radio and make plans to either enjoy it or sell it.
My question is: is it realistic for me to remove the radio and associated gear (switches, speakers, etc.) and then offer it all for sale? Is there a market for used RT radios? If so, then I would have to find some glove box parts and cover and lock, right? How much would that cost? How much value does a radio add to an07 RT?
I guess I could remove and keep the radio and then reinstall it when/if I ever sell the RT.
