          I ordered mine in late Jan and it took till mid March to get them. They told me anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Keep calling and checking.

            Worth the wait. Mine took exactly as told and fit PERFECT. Zippo bodywork also. Pressure checked perfect so no sealer either.

              India made stuff especially sheetmetal is crap.
              I (Kiwi Indian Motorcycles) have Chief tanks in stock.
              Iron Horse are good quality tanks. Stick to USA made.

                I ordered and purchased my fenders for my 1940 Chief from Kiwi, and they were perfect. If the tanks that he has are of the same quality I would highly recommend them.
                From initial order to delivery was only a couple of weeks to Australia, Iron Horse gear is great as well but takes longer to get them once order has been placed.

                Would not buy any of the tin work or casting stuff that is coming out of India, the cost of fixing or correcting them would negate the savings made and really they are not that much cheaper.

                my 2 cents worth.

                  I have a set of Iron Horse tanks on my 35 Chief, 95% perfect out of the box, heavy metal, a great deal.
