Impress Plating in socal is 100% topnotch! I got my lower legs, cowbells, hand controls and several other items from them.

Great topic and thread as I am looking as well. I was actually going to start tearing my bike down today to send some pieces out for chroming but it's supposed to hit 60 or 65 here today so I am putting that off for a few more days. I see you are from Kentucky and there is actually a shop in Kentucky that has been doing chrome for years for the biker crowd. I can't for the life of me remember their name though so Google "chrome plating in Kentucky" and they should come up for you. If I get a chance and remember to do so I will Google it myself and come back later and post their name for you if you don't get to it 1st. If you do get to it 1st and you call them, how about coming back and letting us know what all they say and some details.

Its getting harder to find one who does Triple plating anymore...

The EPA has closed or forced a lot of local shop's to go out of Business.

Back in the good 'ol bad 'ol days before the interweb, Brown's in Paducah, KY was about the best in the biz... but I haven't shipped anything out for plating in over 25 years..
