That looks great! Excellent upgrade.

 

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....

Thanks Sarah!!!

 

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.

 

Just curious how can you tell that it is powder coated versus painted?

 

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.....

I was wondering the same thing......

 

Several ways, it's thickness, it's strength, and it's texture (remember cast aluminum)

 

It is far easier and cheaper to powder coat cast aluminum parts if you want them smooth, then to do all the prep and painting.

 

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.

 

hey bud, you ARE the standard , in my eyes, when it comes to quality customizing....I didn't see listed, that sick tear drop headlight cover, I saw one today, not like yours, but pronounced, and measured up to mine, yea thats gotta go asap!..lol
