Electroplating or chrome plating

[LutonStorm]

Any of you garage dwellers ever chromed up your bolts and bars etc?

Anyone had any success? Thought about getting a small kits and using it to do all the bolts and visible fasteners that are showing their age? Might eve go as far as the zorst hangers/pillion pegs....

Thoughts...?

A few weeks ago i just took my chrome bars off my Bandit and fitted black renthals ,so i'm dulling mine down

Must admit though ,i like to see a bike where the owner has spent time polishing the Aluminium parts , was always going to try it myself when i had my 'storm but never got round to it. Chrome is quite expensive to get done i was told.

Polishing kits available cheap on ebay ,£20 or so. Some nice wee video clips of work done/how to do it on Youtube as well .

So a VTR in chrome is a no then????

I'm so glad!!!!!

All I wanted to do was a couple of bolts and perhaps the footpegs.

Christ, that was a big pot he suspended the 'Busa in?? And was he using a 6v battery?
