I want to chrome my oil tank. Do you thnik this is a good idea?
orthodoc, got your PM.

Not sure if HD makes a chrome oil tank for the Rocker. Not sure a regular softail oil tank will fit. If the softail tank does fit you could go chrome or have it painted to match your tins. Here ya go.

Thanks guys for the compliments! I am doing some additional work on the bike right now. Going to chrome the valley under the fuel injector, chrome the injectors, chrome the oil tank and put on the chin spoiler. The engine needs some work. I am only making 100 HP (Should be somewhere around 108-110). I don't know if the air filter or the exhaust are restrictive or maybe both. Anyone dyno tune their bikes with the big radius and 103 cu in upgrades? If so, how much HP are you able to make?
My indy here in the Philly area, "swears by" V&amp\\;H Pipes\\; but he states that the Big Radius "rob" your engine of HP.

FYI, I read an article about the 09 SE Springer saying it used the Rocker frame and oil tank.&nbsp\\; It's tank is chrome.

Wow. That is one sweet looking bike. Congratulations on building what must be a future bike of the year. Not withstanding the fact that you have unlimited funds you must have spent ages deliberating what parts to put on it , and they all work. It is better than any screaming eagle, well done.
