Just boxed up a bunch of parts for the plating. Thinking on plating the entire rear end. Like the shine.

Anybody out there done some plating on their bikes? If so what?

Still looking.............

Motor has had almost zero time since it was rebuilt with the new crank. So I don't think I have to worry with it. Dave showed me a bunch of photos on the build as he was progressing with his project before it was shelved. Also saw the receipts for all of the equipment. So I'm pretty sure all things are good for what he added.

Don't know if I want to go total chrome on a frame. I'm thing color match on frame and body work with the chrome covered engine and the complete chrome rear end. The Kosman rear end is a double club and I have a set of chromed wheelie bars that came with it. Don't know if I'm going to race it yet, since I want to keep it all in one piece. The engine was build for that purpose.

Mine has a chrome swinger and struts and if you find my brothers (badkz77) build thread he's got some good pics of his rear end on there all chromed out. He's also running spokes with a 5-1/2" wide hoop.
