Greetings,
Well it sounds like you ought to be looking for a good used chrome one. I'm sure there's several out there. Just check the classifieds here and on other sites. Definitely cheaper than buying a new one or trying to have yours chromed.

Hey JM. When I first started stripping me I was bummed also. I stripped a small small and it did not look chrome. It actually was, but the powder coat was just so think it took a couple coats of aircraft stripper to get down to the chrome. I said f-it pulled the whole thing off the bike and laid a huge glob on stripper on the front on the tank. After it sat my eyes lit up CHROME! Don't be discrouraged I had a very similar experience.
