getting a polished aluminum part chromed?
Hey guys, I know alot of you have been getting your parts powder coated, but I am curious if anyone has gotten a polished aluminum part chromed? If so how much did it set you back? Thanks!

I just did my triple tree's and exhaust bracket and it cost me $225, but that was with a discount. I would guess your looking at around $250. Call around for prices and turn around time cause spring is coming!

Check out Meclec Metal in Fresno, CA (www.meclec.com). They did all my black chrome - nice work at reasonable prices.

I don't know why you'd spend $250 to have yours chromed when for $187.37 plus shipping you can get a chrome replacement outer primary cover (V-Twin Part No. 43-0264, pictured below) from Discount Cycle Parts.com.
It includes the gaskets, chrome fasteners, inspection cover, derby cover, O-ring, etc.
You might be able to sell your take-off on craigslist or fleabay to recoup part of your outlay ....

Quality reply Priest.
I often think people just get to carried away with an idea , its always best to take a step back and think out what you wanna do then research all options.
In this case you may have saved the fellow a few bucks!!
