Default WWII bomber special paint job

Hey everybody...brand spankin new here... have owned many of bikes but i'm on the verge of buying my first HD. I fell in love w/ a 2010 Fatboy (new in showroom) that has what they tell me is a limited edition paint job (1 of 200) that looks like the nose of an old WWII bomber. The dealership is telling me its a $6000 paint job and had it stickered at $20800. Can anyone give me any info on this paint job and what it REALY does for bike's value?
Thanks in advance

I think they saw you coming. That paint job is tank-only, and lists at $2,999.95 (p/n 95710-10DDD).

Thanks for the quick replies...it also has the chrome bullet hole wheels. they had it marked down to $18700 and i walked out. they've called me twice now telling me how bad they need to sell the bike cuz of the 11's hitting the floor. told me if i come back in they will sell me that bike for the price of a basic FB at another dealer. Anyone out there own a bike w/ this paint scheme...i would love to be able to post some pics

Anythings worth it enough if you've got the coin and like it enough.

If he told you the paint job was $6K, he's lying to you and you should find another salesman.

What the stealers in Vegas do that drives me nuts is they put on a bunch of easy little bolt ons and then charge you parts AND labor in accessory pricing.

$30 smoked lens that take 20 minutes in the garage having a beer, they tack on a hour ($90) of shop time and total up $120 in accessories.

Easier now with the economy, but in '07 I had a hell of a time finding a stock bike.

What I'm getting at is if you like getting a little dirty you can find a GREAT deal on a stock bike and bolt the exact stuff you like on yourself, get by cheaper and have the pride of doing it.

Good luck and have fun!
