Default chrome oil tank and brake fluid reservoir
My 06 heritage has a black oil tank...how can I go about getting that to chrome? Just like that look better. Also...my brake fluid reservoir is black plastic and leaked a little fluid on my last trip. Bubbled up around the edges and doesnt look so good. Called HD dealer and they said they see that quite often...and people usually just go with a chrome cap instead. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Check ebay. You may be able to find a chrome softail oil bag much cheaper than a new one from the dealer.
