If your tank had chips in the paint, and there wasn't chrome underneath, it wasn't a chrome tank. HD buys the tanks from a vendor. If they don't pass receiving Q.C. I doubt HD accepts them.
Only way to know is to do it. HD QC is pretty picky on cosmetic items. What ever the flaw is may not be visible once installed back on the bike.Yeah, it is chrome underneath, and was thinking about removing the black paint but don't want any surprises if the chrome isn't up to snuff.![]()
Yeah, the chrome I see looks fine and the patch of paint that just came off is too big for touch up. Looks like a good project for January. :bananaOnly way to know is to do it. HD QC is pretty picky on cosmetic items. What ever the flaw is may not be visible once installed back on the bike.
