Ok, back to the thread topic...are we ever going to see some pics of these magical mystery tins?

LOL

I suspect that if it were a cool looking paint scheme, they wouldn't be hidden in a box at the storage locker.

I will say that the current set of tins on the OP's bike are a nice looking set.

They build thousands of "one of" bikes.

What does that have to do with the OP's bike, other than confirming that "one of" bikes lose value?

I really don't see this Westbrook bike selling for the advertised price.

Nothing, I just thought I would post it so some could sh@% on it and flaunt their version of that Harley Davidson brotherhood.

[QUOTE=Then Came Bronson;7973996]Neither do I. In fact, I don't see it selling for anywhere near that price. It's not the year 2000 anymore. The economy still sucks, and it's a buyer's market out there...especially for custom bikes.

In these tough times, I don't understand why Westbrook would build an expensive bike like this, unless it was built to order for a specific person's taste.

That raked out and slammed look probably isn't going to appeal to a lot of FXR fanatics out there, because the bike doesn't really look like a FXR, and it's going to handle like **** in the twisties. There's no ground clearance, and there's no room for suspension travel...kind of important when considering the handling characteristics of the bike that was known for its great handling and ride quality.

Seriously Doubt it .. Maybe the next thing to be posted about is rare paintings by Picasso.. This topic gets farther and farther away for FXR's

I wonder what's worth more...a Picasso from the Blue period, the Rose period, or the OP's set of super rare tins?

Maybe WS6 will clue us in.

What ever is popular, and/or the current trend. If your trendy (monkey see, monkey do), then that would be a Harley and a spray can of black primer.
