It sounds like you have done up your Ultra pretty nicely and selling it at any point, you are going to get burned hugely, as you won't be able to get squat out of the accessories you have added. Your bike still has a book value based on the VIN # and in general, the bank won't lend on that bike over the book value...likely a bit less than book value. That creates a real problem for anyone looking to get rid of a bike that's been over-accessorized. Not only are you going to get burned on your current Ultra, you will now be starting fresh with a CVO that although extremely nice, still needs exhaust and EFI mods just to get you started. Assuming you want to do things like a chrome inner primary, etc. you will still have things that will cost you dearly to get the CVO the way you want it.
Based on the items you listed as add-ons to your Ultra, if you are going to go for the CVO, I would suggest getting started now to start stripping those accessories back off the Ultra. There are quite a few of them that you will still want to put on the CVO, and there are plenty of avenues to sell off the rest of the parts and get some of your money back out of them. Then you can trade in the bike with the upgraded engine and do pretty well with your trade. Still, I don't think that this wil be a financially rewarding transaction for you, and it looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you to bring that Ultra back to anything resembling stock.
If I were you, like someone else mentioned, I would just spend some money to get a custom paint job done on your Ultra and you will have a real one of a kind bike. I wouldn't try to duplicate the CVO paint job though, but that's only my opinion there. I just think you can come up with something better on your own. Either way, you'll save yourself a bundle over the long haul and have a bike that you won't see anywhere else. Good luck with whatever you decide.
