Custom paint really doesn't add much value as it may not be what someone else wants (with exceptions of HD limited Paint which does ad a little to the resale value - don't ask me why but it just does??? (it adds upto $200.00 on the value\resale side))
Not trying to be a smart AZZ here but it's worth what you or somebody else is willing to pay for it. Me, a 8 year old bike for 15K way too much in my book. But that said, if it's what you really want, then...........................................
When he gets it listed on ebay, drop us an item number so we can check it out. I would say $15k is a bit much, but if it catches someones eye, you never know what they would be willing to pay for it.
Custom bikes are worth no more than standard unless the customization is exactly what someone is looking for. Most people want to do their own thing so why pay for something if you are going to change it anyway?
As mentioned, HD Custom Shop colors would be an exception.
