1989 Black Lightning, not so lightning right now

[MEENI]

I know it is based on a badboy ultra 2008
They made 500, for what i can find it is never sold in the us
i can imagine that Price wil largly depend on the state and the original parts
There is al lot on this bike that you can,t find annymore

On ebay germany
Near mint €1799,- a bit over the top in my opinion

I would have guessed that it wasn't that expensive when new.

In the netherlands it was new 2000,- in 2008
I think that the limmited factor plays a big part, also the badboy range holds its price realy well here

I looked up some US spec Bad Boys. 2008 BB disc was around $1000 US, but it didn't have the Headshok fork.

I,m guessing that the base bike for the raw was the 2007 badboy ultra8

Sounds right. I think I looked at the 2008 catalog but didn't see a BB Ultra.

Wil try to straighten out the chainguard without damaging the paint.
It,s layered resin and thin aluminium looks to realy flexible but is not popping back with al little pressure

 

[MEENI]

Made a showcase for it: could not safe the chainguard so removerd the damaged part
Am trying to get an nos one from the manufacturer
