Would I be commiting a sin?
Would I be commiting a sin if I were to have my 2008 105th Anniversary Edition Street Glide painted a different color? I like to copper/black color of the anniversary edition but it is not my favorite. I saw a black custom painted SG the other day that I fell in love with. When I check the book values of the anniversary edition vs non-anniversary, it comes out to $100 higher value.
I know that in time this bike may be worth more but I will have traded or sold it long before then. Tried selling it to buy another SG but the market is soft and I'd have to sell it for a really low price.
So what do you think? Sin....No sin?

Never thought 105th was an anniversary anyhow.
Like saying "I have a 109th anniversary!" Anniversarys are like birthdays.....
10 is a big one, then thirteen, sixteen, 21 one....then thirty...40.
105? Cool for a birthday.......not an anniversary bike.
Paint it.

My '03 anniversary EG Classic's value kept dropping lower and lower. Yours will do the same. Make it your own. Now if it was a CVO, ... we might have sinnage.

I would say it's your bike, do what you want..
If you're gonna dump a bunch of $ in the paint job though, you might wanna consider tradin' up, depending on how much $ you already have in it ofcourse.
