I have a 06 heritage the paint is pealing off the oil tank the tank looks chrome underneath my question is is the tank a chrome tank with black paint on it if so what's the easiest way of getting the paint off without ruining the chrome

 

Got a picture of exactly what you're talking about?

 

I have heard:
that they are all chrome to start with, and then some are painted to final finish.
they can be stripped and polished out

 

Get some paint remover and steel wool.

 

Is your master cylinder leaking brake fluid?

 

Somebody painted the oil tank. Heritage tanks are chrome. Very few Softail models have painted tanks from the factory.

 

What hell are you talking about?

 

He's asking because brake fluid eats through paint

 

But both master cylinders are far from the oil tank on a Softail.

 

That's because I first read it as the fuel tank.
