Default ***** Shiny

Has anyone had any experience with ***** Shiny's chrome rim exchange? Have been looking for a limited set of knuckles but they are too expensive. This seems like a good alternative.

I used his service and was very happy with it. Great service and the chrome has proved to be good quality. Couldnt ask for much more.

Looked into him for chrome or black legs for a 2014 SGS. His exchange prices are as much as an outright set with no exchange on eBay. Found that a little odd.

You get what you pay for. His chrome is good, I've been to his place. I have seen his wheels, fork legs and brake calipers. Picked up a set of calipers for a buddy. I'd buy from him again for sure.

All the chrome looks better than OEM Harley chrome. They take their time to polish everything first.

I have a set of his calipers on my bike. They are gorgeous. If you want high quality it is not always inexpensive and with a surface such as chrome it makes more sense to get from someone who knows what they are doing and charges a little more than to get the cheapest price and end up with flaking chrome.

Joe is a good guy to work with and a straight shooter. I have no problem paying a little more to support him.

i can't say about the wheels, but i know on the fork legs, he will clean the lowers up so you get a nice consistent surface all the way around. harley doesn't. take a look at the backside of your chromed harley fork lowers. they are ugly. i suspect he does the same with wheels, ie cleaning up any 'bad' spots, etc.
