i ordered a chrome oil tank for my sportster from steel thunder custom cycles. http://www.steelthundercc.com/index.html i would like to let everyone know about the great service they gave me. the new tank was only $101.85 with free shipping and they had it in my hands in four days. when i took it out of the box i noticed it had a small dent in it just below the filler. when i called to tell them about it, they said i was the second person to call about the same thing that day. the man offered to ship me another one or give me the dented one for $50. i said i'd prefer a new one and he said no problem, he would ship it right away and arrange for pickup of the dented one. the following week i received another tank (this time no dents). when i called back to find out why nobody picked up the dented tank, he said i could keep it for free. in the future i will try to buy parts from them whenever i can. |

Mind if I ask why you didn't just get the chrome oil tank cover??? Saved money and you can't really tell!Just curious because I was thinking of getting the whole tank at first until my boss recommended the cover. |

well for one thing i don't like covers, but in this case i don'd think the factory oil tank cover fits my 88 model anyway. |

I gotta buddy that swears chrome oil tanks run hotter than black ones cause the chrome doesn't dissapate the heat like the black ones do......paranoid now? |

old school takes the part off and has it chromed... now a lot of folks screw, glue or bolt covers over everything. it does leave a shiney trail to follow home! |
