Chroming

A few bits of chromed items looking decidedly past their best so off they come and away to the chromer they go if the price is right.
Both footrests, the gear lever, rear brake pedal, and the rear grabrail. All still ok functionally, but could look prettier. Don't want to get carried away as its not going for a concourse prize.
Estimates come back reasonable from a place in Hull - except for the grab rail which I won't bother doing. Its not too bad actually, but the rechrome cost is more than a new one!!.The rest of the stuff comes out at around 30% of replacing with new. I don't want to replace anything as it then doesn't stay the same bike if you know what I mean. At least most stuff will remain original even it it has been fettled or refreshed shall we say.


Pic sent to chromer for quote, hence the ruler for scale. Around £140 for evrything except the grab rail., all the work is in the prep
