Is it wrong to want to lick my shiny bits? Just got them back from the platers today. Pretty nice job. Few bits not perfect but only because I'm picky.  |

How much dud they sting you for all that Andy? Just asking coz I've got a similar pile destined for a similar treatment and don't want to get ripped off  ? |

When I had those bits chromed, (and perhaps a few more), it cost about £600 then another £400 for the exhausts

Do you want to know what I told the wife it cost or the real price?  |

So for:
Front guard
Rear guard
Front guard brake hose brackets x 4
Headlamp ears x2
Headlamp ear lower rings x2
Fork dust seal rings x2
Brake lever
Gear lever
Taillight bracket
Aus$650
The other semi shiny rear guard is one they stripped and didn't plate- I gave them two and told them to pick the best one. I might use that as a test mule for chrome spraying.
I've been quoted $700 to chrome both exhausts so will start saving!

The way the world is going, it won't be how much to chrome, it will be how did you get it chromed. I understand England is stopping all chroming operations in a few years.

Very Pretty. Quality platers are getting scarce.......... and costly.

Health and safety I guess, there are a lot of nasty toxic and corrosive chemicals used, not the nicest environment to work in  |

EU Health and safety have shut down my local powder coaters and one of the chromers down. The polishing and chemicals controls plus insurance liability stopped them trading ,

Bring the EU stay or leave debate on the Forum Roger ...Your not alone with the out vote based on the chrome alone issue ...My local chromer's workshop looks like a set from a horror movie ..like a cold wet dungen with tanks full of yellow looking fluid ..its like going back in time to the 40s ...Am sure there are a few moaning customers bubbling in the tanks.. they have been around a long time and still alive ....will take a pic the next time i go ...
