Default 2008 Anniversary FatBoy resprayed as 95th Anniversary

I have owned the last 3 Anniversary Fatboys. I never really liked the "Duracell" look and recently I backed into a very high kerb and slightly creased the rear guard. This was my sign and I removed all the tins and had it painted very similar to my first one. Resale value is not that affected in my opinion, and if so it was my decision, as if I had to sell it I would just say it was a 2008 Fatboy. The original badges were managed to be kept and reapplied, as is the limited number decal. I just really prefer the bike in this combination. The wobbly lines are just the roof reflection. Also had the 2 heated rear seat holes metal finished and filled in, which makes the rear guard much neater when in the solo seat setup. I then vinyl dyed the seat panel from copper to burgundy.

Looks great. The stock colors wouldn't be my choice either.

"Resale value is not that affected in my opinion"

Currenty used bike resale value not much effect.

Though as an collectable antique bike years from now, yes.
