Didn't the chrome bikes have chrome tanks?  Maybe not...

Mine does!! I think it's been repainted. I'd wonder why.

Yeah, it looks a bit odd.

No chrome + no pinstriping + no Enfield logo = repaint.

I bet it was dropped, got a tank ding and was repaired/repainted.  Takes away a lot from the look.

I like the chrome tank and logo much better.

Would definitely talk the price down for a origin tank.

I thought the fenders were striped also, like the gas tank?

The fender stripes are stickers.
