I'm getting ready for the winter project of stripping and painting the bike. What should I use to strip the stock bb/cc from the tank and fenders???

The cheap way is to use an aircraft stripper.
It's messy and smelly but works well. Usually in two applications.

At times the stripper won't remove all the base color and sealer so if there's just a little left just stop there and 180 or 220 it off.If you have knarley looking welds I stay off these,along with the rivets and the rolled fender flanges-basically anywhere the stripper can get down into crevices and give you a hard time neutralizing it.I run these areas through the blast cabinet or a hand blaster to finish stripping.If you blast make sure you seal up the openings in the tank 3 times better than you think you need to.
