What are your thoughts on repainting a Black 2003 Anniversary tank with a custom paint job.. Even if you did it and have regrets about it let me know. Tossed between history of HD or buying a different tank. Is the anniversary tank worth any more on resale or value as a keeper. I had an 03 soft tail and wished it has the original paint and badges.

 

I would paint it. It is still an 03. Just don't sell the badging. Keep it and sell with the bike if/when the time comes.

 

An 03 is nothing special just like the 93's,98's,08's,13's,etc,etc,etc.

 

yep.. except the 03 is a 100th anniversary,, and the rest are not!!

 

I think you might burn in Hell. Tread carefully.

Everyone says '03s are nothing special now. That's what my Mom said when she threw out all my 1960s Baseball Cards. 50 years later they would be nice to have.

 

100th Anniversary Smersary. Just a marketing ploy that comes along every five years. No real added value.

 

The thing about the 100th anniversary is every bike... and I mean every bike made in 03 was a 100th anniversary edition, they all have that paint or badges somewhere, unlike the 105 in 2008 where the only made some with the paint and scheme. Id paint it man, right now its a dime a dozen. You might think its rare but I promise I can look up 15 bike just like it for sale, and if anyone thinks that a 100th is worth more... You're wrong. Look up NADA on a 03 and a 02 price might be a couple hundred different

 

Also any chance the South Salem you live in is in ohio?

 

No, South Salem, NY. I want to visit ohio. looks real nice.

 

It's worth more I'd by another and sell it I had a 100 th ann sportster and there where people sellin tanks like mine on eBay and people were paying 800 bucks for em I thought it was crazy to get one from Harley u supposedly have to send them ur damaged one so there's people out there that'll pay for it
