Default My '08 Nightster

SO I've had my Nightster for about 2 years, I'm starting to "personalize" it but not sure how for I should go...I have an 08 Nightster with the Factory OD green paint, I've read on the forums this is a pretty limited paint line for the bike, while I love the Paint look, I don't like the gray and gloss black of the frame and engine. I was wondering, by doing more permanent customizations, am I hurting the vaule(is there a value) to the bike. What do you all think?

Most aftermarket modification/customization doesnt really add value to the bike, and may reduce it depending on the buyer.

Walk into most Harley dealers and in my experience the s/h bikes for sale you are likely to see are mostly close to stock. Limited paint only starts to pick up additional value, over other colours, after several years, by which time most have them have been 'customised' or repainted!
