Default New Dude

Hey everyone, I just bought a used 2003 Deuce. I really love the bike. However there are issues with the chrome. Due to neglect by the previous owner. I am looking for some advice on how to deal with it. I have a couple of spots that are popping up or bubbling. In other spots it is oxidized and pitted. Is there anything I can do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome from Washington State.. Ride Safe

I can't help on the chrome question, but I am sure there are others that can.. hopefully they see the psot. You might want to try posting something about this in one of the other areas? (detailing forum perhaps)
