Paint the thing if thats your thing. A bad boy is still gonna be a bad boy. The right paint scheme would be killer....Like plain black with some old school emblems...

Just dont lose any original parts and its all good.

make it what you want. agree = the time for any of these bikes being worth is long gone. when you can pick up a 2005 full dresser for under $10,000.00.

Digging up an old thread here but:A 1996 Bad Boy sold here yesterday at a local estate auction for $10500.It looked to be totally original with 10000kms.the black paint and stripes were in really good shape,the rest of the bike could use some TLC.Not knowing much about Softtails I thought the price was kinda high,but maybe not,they seem to be a bit of a rarity.

It's never going to be really valueable unless it is in pristine original condition with super low mileage. Even then you're not talking stupid bucks. Enjoy it and do what you want to it. Don't go buying tins and all that other nonsense.
