Given what's involved in chrome plating, it's unlikely he's doing it at home. ;-)

I did an exchange when my 2008 Fatboy was in the shop for accident repairs this fall. Quick turnaround and excellent chrome shine! A few more days due to the fact that I wanted the standard bullet hole rims.

Thanks Shucks. Glad to know it worked out and quality was good. I've spent time today looking at other vendors and I think ***** might be the one. Appreciate everyone's help.

Not surprised that the business address is a house. The environmental laws in California make it very expensive to chrome there. A lot of So Cal chromers actually do the work in Mexico.

I thought it was odd to be doing chrome in Cali. Several established platers closed here in Ok several years ago do to EPA regs.
