Question for ya, has the powder coat on your oil tank started to form hairline cracks by chance?
No, mine looks good.... and are you sure it's powder coat?? I read on another thread, that the Breakout oil tank is painted. I figured the Rocker's was as well....

I assure you the Rocker's oil tank is powder coated, as the tank is a cast part, not a sheet metal part like the average softail. I am not 100% sure on the Breakout, but I am 99% sure it is also powder coated as I believe it is also cast. I did read that comment on the other thread, about oil tanks being painted, and I agree standard softail tanks are painted, and technically There is a 1% chance a Breakout tank is painted, as I have never touched one, but I assure you mine is powder coated.

Ya, it would make sense that they're both p/c, with the exhaust coming as close to the oil tanks as it does, it seems like it would hold up to the heat better.....

But I can't see thickness or strength?? and it's texture looks the same as paint to me....lol
Hahaha Very true, but as someone who has PC and painted many a things I can see it. Plus I just had my oil tank out, and was able to play with it. As I sadi mine is starting to form some imperfections, which I will correct at some point, so I hit it with a center punch in a discrete spot. I assure you it is powder coated.
