It's your bike, but you'll notice most of the compliments you're getting here mention how original it is. That's where the value is. Start powder coating stuff and hanging dyna parts on it, and you might as well just have a dyna.

Yah, he might be cursed with a collector's item (meaning that you have to keep it stock; or if you do keep it stock it will keep its price best).

A 1999 with 5,000 miles.. Sasquatch, mermaids, mothman, the Lockness monster.. I've heard about those but, never seen one. Who buys a sweet Harley and then stores it?
