Has anyone here used any Black Chrome instead of regular chrome on there bikes? I am thinking of doing this instead of the normal Black Out look a lot of people are doing lately. . . If someone can post up any pics of stuff they have done please. . . . THANKS !

 

what the hell kind of a marketing gimmick is "black chrome?"

 

I suspect the ACLU is behind it...

 

easiest way to describe it is, picture a mirror with window tint over it.

here is a link to a video of some Black Chrome wheels

I seen that before, cool stuff. Wonder how costly that process is.

 

I was thinking of having my rims done in black, and heres what the guy at Impressplating told me (He is the only guy I found that gives a 3 year warranty on his chrome) His work is impeccable. He said the cost was about $40 more on each wheel, but most people that get black chrome come back in 2-3 years and have it bright chromed, because the UV rays turn the black chrome white like its oxidized.

 

I am going to have my stock 9 spoke wheels black chromed this spring. I think it will look good with the black pearl paint and black diamond series hardware. Would love to see any pics of this as well.

 

I am thinking of doing this to the forks, crash bars, dash, handle bars, and maybe the wheels. This will be on a Vivid Black Road-Glide Ultra, so SHOULD look HOT I think.

I have heard about the oxidizing, but had heard it depends on maintenance of the plated part . . . . .

That was five years ago, and it had been on 2 or 3 years then. It only depends on the plater. My finish is "black nickel", done by someone in Ca.

 

I've never heard of black chrome before. It will look really sweet with your black scooter. After you have it chromed and assembled, we need to see some photos.

Ride safe,
