Crikey.. What a terrible decision to have to make.

Oh shucks Pauly ... Not sure I could accept such an gracious offer ... Now what was I saying about taking the bad with the good ... Lol .

Man, That softy looks great in black with the spoke wheels. That's how I'd be selling it. What a hard decision you have.

Tough decision. What I liked is that you showed us 3 designs for one bike. All great and all for sale in one package. I'd advertise it that way. 

Softy with black tins on would surely appeal to a broader range of buyers. 

Thanks guys , appreciate the feedback ... As I suspected the Black Paint job version of the Twin Cam seems to be a clear favorite ... She's in getting a new rear tyre and a tweak to a bit of an annoying decel pop ... Will see if I can fight off the allure of the new Road King for a little bit longer ... I am going to take a massive loss on the Twin Cam no matter when I sell so maybe the Old girl can win me over again and fight off the urges to trade up for now ... Will be interesting to see how long I can resist my compulsive nature , Lol ... Pic below is of my Springer before I had her torn apart and turned into the Bobber in above post ... Still have all of those Factory Tins , Wheels , pipes and so on as well to let go of one of these days ... Is there a cure for Hording , Lol ..

Yes. Poverty.

Mate you gotta keep the evo springer for sure. I'm with Fatbat, the black softy with the anniversary tins as a buyer option would get the most hits. Then onto that RK Special! What colour you liking on the King?

Gotta ask what handlebars have you used on the Fsxtc? 

Poverty , I think that is very achievable , Lol ... 

Thanks for that. Will have a look at them.

A tough position to be in no doubt TJU.  Can tell how much money you've put into those bikes too.  Have you thought about putting on a dress and wig (apparently it's quite the rage in the US) and hitting up the backstreets of Logan??? Then you could keep your bikes AND have the new RoadKing!!

I agree with Kiwidave on every point!!

Well I don't mind the 105th Anniversary colours ( sorry 'colors' haha!)

Had one myself late 2007 , first one in Perth, 2008 FXSTC in "Duracell" paint scheme.

AT THE TIME here in Perth WA they were "desirable" but the used HD market here in WA has since gone to shit , probably forever !

Colour is such an eye of the beholder thing , but usually "stock" bikes do better and appeal to a wider range of buyers.

That's my experience over the years anyways

Point of interest , more of those "Duracell" Softail Customs came to Perth as used grey imports than Frasers ever sold new !

The 105 anniverary will appeal to the buyers most, most buyers go for original, original bikes eventually hold/increase in value,

The problem with a customized bike is that generally you are the only person who likes it, therefore limiting it's saleability, sure people will say it looks great to your face to make you feel good, but in reality they walk back to look at their own bike thinking " my bike is the best looking bike here ",

Thanks guys for all the feedback ... Not sure about the dress and wig comment from up above , Lol .

TJU

I sold my own 2008 Anniversary FXSTC nearly 5 years ago now , and got $20K for it. Listed for 3 months , kept getting offered $20k , eventually took it

One owner , ( me !), Australian bike from new , stock bar K&N air, Khromewerks slip on mufflers and HD Speedo with revcounter. Bike looked 100% stock OEM.

The used HD market across Australia was POLLUTED with recent grey imports , some well lovely , some pure dogs of things.

Set the used price at the time tho' for sure !

Here in Perth today , that bike would be $13k absolute max.  (probably less !)

Shit , I still have brand new bike TAKE-OFF  front and rear guards ( sorry 'Fenders") for that bike , only useful for that exact colour scheme.

The other "new" one that Frasers sold in 2007 , exact same as mine , was bingled and cosmetically "written off" by his Insurance co , rebuilt in black ( like all of them haha)
