Question

I'm the proud owner of a 1987 FXLR Custom, the 10-year anniversary edition.&nbsp\\; Looks totally different from the regular '87 FXLR.&nbsp\\; According to HD, only two colors of this bike were manufactured, and only 615 bikes in this color (candy-brandy wine) were manufactured/sold.&nbsp\\; My brother bought it new in '87 in upstate NY.&nbsp\\; My problem is I don't know how to accurately appraise what the bike is worth on the open market.&nbsp\\; No one I've found has ever seen a bike like it, including the techs at the HD dealerships in the area.&nbsp\\; When I first purchased it from my brother I searched through&nbsp\\;every HD book I could find, but no luck.&nbsp\\;Couldn't find it listed on the Internet anywhere, either.&nbsp\\; Finally a coworker brought in a 1991 Edition of the official HD Big Book he had at home where this bike was listed. &nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Anyone have an idea of how I can find out what the bike is worth?&nbsp\\; It's in really great shape, with 37,000 actual miles.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

RE: Question

So in celebration, [HD gotta party, lotta loooowwwww riders], the FXLR has even more flavors in both the 'Custom Anniversary Edition' with anniversary graphics on both fenders and the tank\\\\\\; as well as in the form of the 'Anniversary Low Rider' with a 10th Anniversary leather center tank strap. There was also an FXRC Special thrown in there to make damn sure you had an FXR to chose from, (736 produced). [Got it,...................................good].
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Personally, I'd say it's worth&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; a few dollars more than a stock Fxlr.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; These limited editions, including mine, have no real value over the stock bike.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
