Who is best and at competative prices? I've had stuff done in the past, but I'm always open to suggestions. Thanks!

Terry,

I have been kicking this around for a while now also. I am going to take some parts to a local chrome plating shop. They have done some Kawasaki parts for other board members. No matter where you go it is expensive. I will post my price quotes when I get them. Quality can vary and I have heard from many sources that Brown's is the best ($$$$).

I just had some parts chromed at Pro Plating, a local place here in Atlanta. They did a great job but it is not cheap. I paid $90 for the kickstarter and gear shift lever. I don't know if I overpaid but they came out beautiful.

That is about right from what I have been hearing.

I know everybody has there plating choices, But Ogden Chrome pays for the shipping to and from, They are top show quality plating and do plating for people from all over the world. Tell them Mike the Kawasaki Triple guy from Old Classics Northwest sent you and ask for Matt.

I used this guy in Quebec. Show chrome quality work.

On Jackman's advice I emailed Brown's for an estimate to chrome 9 rather small parts. Also attached a picture of the parts. I'll definitely need more done later.

Anyway, Brown's quote for the 9 parts was between $265 & $285. Now I don't doubt at all that Brown's does beautiful work, but I thought that was too high for my flimsy budget. I then email a place in Texas I had used a few years ago when restoring a CT70 for my brother. They had done nice work on those parts. Atlas Plating quoted me $110 plus shipping. Quite a difference from Brown's.

Shipped my parts to Atlas Plating the next day.

Once again....I'm not slamming Brown's at all. I'm just looking at the pile of parts I have for this S2A that still need chrome and it looks like I could EASILY wrap up a grand in just chome.

i used atlas the other day and i am very pleased with the results basicaly it was $60 each for kicker,grear shifter and brake pedal.
