Or you can go my route. I wanted an oldie too, but the reliability was an issue as was the price. I took a 08 crossbones and made it into an old looking bike and have all the reliability of a new bike, with the oldie look. I am always getting people arguing with me as to how old the bike really is.

Reliability an issue - no, not if you understand old iron; just more frequent maintenance.
Price an issue - and you paid how much for your Bones? Coulda had 2 very clean old shovels at least and one very nice pan.
People arguing about how "old" your bike is - anyone who knows bikes can tell instantly between old and new iron; you cannot "make" a new bike "look" old. Only thing that does that is time. Just enjoy your Bones for what it is.
