RE: Have you ever engraved chrome components?
When I bought my Fatboy, the coil cover was engraved with a Winged Bar and Shield and "FATBOY". It also had the previous owner's name engraved between the Bar and Shield and the "FATBOY". I don't know how long it had been on there but, there was no sign of flaking of the chrome. I loved the look but, didn't want the PO's name on there. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anyone to engrave a new cover for me. I'm hoping I'll find a vendor at the Myrtle Beach rally in May who does it.

Check ebay, they have a vendor on there that does a lot of military engraving, etc on horn covers & derby covers.

Has anyone ever engraved items off their bike? Will it eventually cause the chrome to peel or flake?
