The question was in general. Someone mods their bike, and it could be either themselves, or a shop, that did it. You don't know yet until you ask.
Take a BMW car for example. Let's say you're looking for one, and you know you'd install a Dinan kit on it if you bought one. Someone comes along who has a Dinan BMW, and has the receipt from the dealer who installed the kit.
Let's say the market value of that car is $20K.......and the Dinan kit normally costs $3K........So he lists the car for $22K saying that the Dinan kit makes it worth more than market. I might not agree with $22K, but I might be willing to pay $21K instead of $20K. Because now I've gotten a $3K Dinan kit for only $1K.
