Hey Punty--about your sig comment--"thoughts become things"--yeah they do--made me smile to read it. "Think, know, become" is one I walk around with in my head. Anyway, nothing to do with black chrome--which look great btw--just appreciatedthat positive reminder today !

 

Thanks!!! I am very happy with the turn out. As Joe K mentioned, this is the full plating process - you can do this on any metal surface, as they chemically strip it all first. I use Meclec Metal Fabricating in Fresno, CA. www.meclec.com They do great work and are very reasonable. The parts in the pic cost me $520, and my fender struts were another $120. Not bad at all, in my view. I had a quote for powdercoating that was higher than this!

They typically run 2-4 weeks to turn stuff around. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, though.

BOTM would be quite an honor! I'm just worried that black chrome is hard to distinguish in pics...Also, I need to heal up so I can ride the damn thing! Just had a stupid *** hernia operated on Monday. Doing well already, but I'm still not ready to ride...

 

Very nice...............

 

Nice parts!
I tell you what. Higher education doesn't do it all. Try as I might I still can't figure out how to get a sig pic right. Throwing in the towel for now

 

Change from [image} to [img] ...

 

Parts look great....Gives me some more ideas for mine.....Thanks for posting the website for the co.

 

great looking ya get it up and done June BOTM

 

What a great idea, wish I could see it live.

 

Looks like some extra nice additions to an already fine scoot.
Good job, tomato.
Heal fast, brother.
Hernia operations suck, almost as bad as the hernia itself................

 

That looks awsome. I have saw a bike at Sturgis last year with black chrome every where, even the exhaust. It might have been mostly a show bike because the tech changing fluids said it chips fairly easy. I was hooked though, best looking finish I ever saw. I have looked around for a place here in Chicago that does it and half the people have no idea what I am talking about. So I'm thinking if I want it done I will send it to your guy out in California. BOTM!!!
