Title: Chrome will get me home!
Post by: kartjockey on March 11, 2024, 09:59:10 PM
I sent out another load of parts to be chromed.  They told me 6 to 8 weeks, but they were done in 5 weeks.

Just a couple more pieces to be done and I will have a complete bike chromed except for the frame and tank.  My idea is to skip chroming the tank and use the Simplex stick-on chrome tank covers. 

Why do I do this?  I don't know but it feels good!

Very nice , Tom .

Better get the welding mask if you plan on looking at that stuff for long . ;)
And , why you do it ?
Maybe just because you like making things better .

where did you get it done?  Down here in Louisiana I can't find a decent chroming co.

they are very professional and package very well for the return trip.  They ask that you send a list of items with the parts.  i always take pics too.  I have used them a few times now.

Looks great! In a few more years, no one will know what chrome is.  So many shops have closed.
