Oil tank Paint is cracking
I have a 2011 Fatboy lo in Denim Black. Great bike. While I was cleaning it, I noticed the left side of the oil tank has some spiderweb cracks in the wrinkle black paint. Has anyone else seen this? I did see some posts on dofferent bikes. Harley is going to warranty it. The bike has 1600 miles, and it is 2 months old. I hope the paint on the new one does not crack. The tank is like 470 or so if I had to buy it. O.0

Same on my 2008 Rocker, it started last year and is getting worse.
After 3 years I have no more warranty, so I'm thinking about getting a new paint job or maybe the chromed oil tank.

Bi lateral tells me poor surface prep. Period. They owe you new tank. Respray won't cut it.

My 07 Standard did the same thing. It was a chrome tank under some paint. Chunks of paint / material were flying off!! HD replaced it under the warranty and I haven't had a problem since. They even asked it I wanted a chrome tank instead. Told them I want the stock on back and they said no. It was defected.
