Default Are my 100th anniversary tins worth anything

Hey guys Ive got an 03 road glide in the sterling/ black anniversary colors. I was looking into doing deep bags, fenders, and a stretched tank but since I cant get paint to match the sterling silver I was wondering what my best option would be. Are the tins off my bike worth anything trying to sell them to offset the cost of the new components are am I better off selling the bike and getting a more standard color that can be matched?

YES, the 2003s are worth a lot more than the 2008 anniversary tins. A quick check on eBay found 2 sets, none from baggers (Dyna and Softail)all for between 1100 and 2400 for tank and fenders only!

Sure they are, selling them on eBay will tell you what the demand is, that in turn sets the pricing.

I'd say hold on to them for now, though, and let them become a little more rare through motorcycle attrition.

Funny, the 100th anniversary tins were probably made in larger quantities than any paint scheme in the history of motorcycles (other than black).

Thanks guys that basically answers my question.

I was torn between keeping my stockers stripping them and painting or selling it all off and starting with all new parts....a part of this is also knowing that with the anniversary paint not being matchable any little scratch or chip I wanted to correct would be more costly than a standard color.

I saw those but there didnt seem to be any interest in them. I highly doubt they will sell for that. Thats the reason i was wondering what they are really worth.

Which pieces did you buy for that price? Did you replace it all or just a few parts?
