Default Where would one post a question about "body" work?

Just curious...I want to ask about some "cleanup" on my tanks. What would be the appropriate forum?

sorry?

are you being facetious?

Why touring?

It's a question about fatbob tanks from a softail? That's why I put "body" in quotes. I guess touring bikes are the ones with actual "body" work, right?

probably not the right spot, tho

Dunno why this section would be inappropriate, after all it is a "General Harley Davidson Chat" question...

You know, for all the time I've been on here, I never realized there was no "Paint and Body" section. We need one.
For now, I think this is the best place. I don't think anyone goes to "Other" under tech.

I was a bit surprised myself

I'm also a bit sheepish to post my inquiry

Post away JD, don't be shy. I can tell you for certain, that my next post will most likely be more embarrassing than any you can post...

That's one thing I've gotten used to, (sounding stupid/dumb), don't let me be the only one!
