So I accidentally stumbled on a set of 2001 FXDL tins on ebay last week. As a lot of you know, I am running an FXDL tank on my FXDX. The 96-03 FXDL tank is super hard to come by and is one of the toughest HD tanks to find. I see them go for $600+ on ebay.

Well, I came across an entire set of 2001 FXDL tins that didn't have a lot of description, one low res pic, and just said they had custom paint. I took a shot, got them for $214 since nobody was bidding. Here is the result:



The paint is not really my style, but is actually pretty flawless and the green/yellow metallic candy looks really deep. The tins themselves are mint, i even did the magnet test to make sure there was no heavy filler/bondo going on.

Not sure if I will hang on to them for spares or flip them at this point, still thinking about it.

 

Wow what a score!

 

Nice score, back in my custom truck days I used to be really into tribal flames. Those actually don't look to bad. I bet if you had a pinstriper stripe the flames in red it would make them look really good.

 

Nice find Apollo! If I were you I would just keep them as spares. If you end up wanting a different color, your bike wouldn't have to be OOC for long.

 

Yeah, the black flames are just really one dimensional. Just plain black over this really vivid candy yellow/green color. Doesn't really fit together, almost like they need to be pearl black or something.

 

$214 for a full paint set ... that's a score.

 

Man, nice score... yu don't see that very often! I caught a couple lately, but nothin' that good.

 

Looks superb!

 

Very nice score indeed! I would't go with the red stripe as mentioned unless you're a big fan of McDonalds. A dark grey or silver might set it off...

 

id be so pimp with those on my bike
