Raz.  Nunawading Specialist Electroplaters 98789047 are the go.  They do heaps of them for Harleys etc...

By the time you chrome the cush drive hub and nuts and bolts etc you'll be looking around the $1400 ish + :pi_money:

Then add the levers, foot peg assemblies, brake arm, triple clamp, blah, blah blah..... You get the picture!  Scary :pi_money: Scary

You could always get a spare set whilst your at it? Coolsmiley

Giddy - after looking in to the cost of doing all of that - I decided it wasn't worth it - my little bits of bling are good enough for me... for now :P

There are heaps of tech "how to" articles on the internet along the same lines of "Polishing/Chroming" the frame and swing arm... depends how much time you have on your hands, the tools that are required and the trust in yourself to do it... because following most articles will get the job done for you. Here is one for the polished wheels... http://www.wardsweb.org/busa/hayabusa_mods_wheels.html I've seen better articles, but there's nothing wrong with this one...

Although the only problem with polishing them... you kinda need to do it all the time... and keep them clean, unless they are clear coated or something to that effect... (found this out when I did my CBR250! :lol: )
