ORIGINAL: Manish_Hawg

I use http://www.atlaschrome.com/ They don't have a great website, and no fancy shop, but they are in the Houstonand pretty cheap.

Sorry to hear about your controls. Best to get the word out like you did so other don't get burned. Power of the Net. Too bad ebay will not let you update or edit your comments.

Rod, I use these guys to. After all my HD Chrome Engine Kit pitted and peeled I took all the original stuff to Atlas. Everything has come back looking excellent with the exception of 1 lower slider. To be fair to them, he did warn me the casting was pitted and rough and he would sand and polish it the best he could.

They also did a great job removing the left caliper mount for $15.00 and you can not tell it ever had one before.

ChromePros in Corpus do an excellent job, but each time I've tried to deal with them, they are not very customer friendly (IMHO).

If you run across another listing let us know. I'll ask if the chrome is going to peel on these like they have the rest they've sold.

Why don't everyone just go to their ebay listing and ask the seller a question: Does your chrome pit and peel?
Would be interesting to see their reaction...also mention you weregoing to buy but because of bad customer service have changed your mind..

Thanks for the link, Rod, I sent Debrix Cycles an email on one of their products on sell on Ebay asking the quality of their chrome and if they had any complaints about peeling to Jenna.
I said I'd heard this was an issue with their products and if they stood behind their products months later if it happened, since they "take great pride in providing top notch products and customer service at the best possible prices to our clients. " I'd like to know how they would handle this if it occurred later on.
Yep, let them know the power of the forum. Course they probably could care less, that's OK I will not buy from them. Now that brings the count up to 4 lost potential customer.

I was looking at them too, but I think I'll go with Midwest that XXX has had such good luck with.
