Sure thing. Tribe Custom Finishing. I have delt with Craig and he was pretty cool. He will give you an estimate if U take your bike down to him. Here is the info. They are resonably priced.

A word on chroming:

DO NOT chrome load bearing parts! This means anything that takes forces like weight or torque, i.e. wheels or swingarms, frames, etc.

The chroming process traps chemicals against the metal which eat it away over time, eventually causing critical failure at some particularly bad moments. Even the cleanest shops doing the best job possible will leave trace amounts of these chemicals, as they soak into the pores of the metal.

Imagine taking a corner at speed in a canyon, and having your swingarm snap in two because it turned to swiss cheese under the chrome. Not pretty...

You are better off polishing, anodizing, or powder coating.

If anyone wants to powder coat any part, I have a great guy up in Windsor. He does a fabulous job, and his prices can't be beat. I know, I checked everywhere prior to going to him. He's got all the colors under the sun.

Ask for Ron @ Coating Specialties (970) 686-6318. He's done every part on my bike and I couldn't be happier!

Kewl - let me know how it looks - I need some powdercoating stuff done. Once I did my TZ250 in red (wheels, frame and swing arm) and the fairing in white/red.

It looked like a two-stroke addition to the local fire department. :roll:
