It's also a set that only has 150 made, I would love to have it but it's not designed for me, too expensive, it's a one off someone who wants something original, the chance of someone else owning one anywhere near you is slim

definitely for a select few with a fair amount of disposable income, and won't be crushed when they see rock chips, etc...but I do like the paint scheme and would love to have it as a factory custom color option..appears to have replaced the Boss 302 blue that must have sold out, which was really cool too

Where can you get a full set of OEM tins, OEM stretched bags, and an OEM touring pack, painted for significantly cheaper? That of course doesn't want your stock tins in exchange... I am truly interested. I don't dispute that you could get your stock tins painted for significantly cheaper, but that is not what they are selling, it also wouldn't give you the stretched bags unless of course you had them stock. You also would have more down time, nor would you be able to either swap back to stock at a later date, or sell your stock tins to recoup some of the cost.

I understand it is a steep price, and it isn't for everyone, it's not supposed to be.

I had a paint set done for my ‘15 Road Glide, BadDad stretched bags, custom fender, bought the other pieces off of Ebay. The paint was $6000, everything else about $2000, so around $8000 all together. It is #1 of 1. There isn’t another one that looks like it. Eddie of Bent Metal Customs in Beaverton, Or. did it for me. The guy is an awesome painter. You ought to drop by and see him MJ.

One thing I've learned from going to different "Bike weeks" no matter what you do to your bike, someone else already has it or done it. Makes me want to just save my money and leave it black, LoL

I actually passed a SG I think? last week with the boss paint scheme. I was told my my dealer that was a 10k option!

We both know our laguna orange I think was around 3k option, but 10 grand? nah.
