Chrome platers

#1 PostAuthor: Skid Mark » Wed Feb 08, 2023 1:04 pm

Hi all,
I have a 78 Z650 with quite a bit of chrome needs seeing to. I'm seeing that it isn't cheap to get this done anymore, plus with me being in Ireland things have got a whole lot more complicated. But I have a tub of fixings and a set of rims with dec 77 codes on them and I would love to be able to keep them. Who would ye recommend for a quote and to hopefully leave the stamps on the rims, alternatively, should I just bin the lot and get repro parts.
Thanks in advance.

It's only original once but probably cost more to re plate the original parts than fit repop parts. Depends how original you want to keep it and how deep your pockets are!
