I had a mail from a guy in Ca that was looking to have some 4 Stroke pipes re-chromed - can anyone suggest anywhere? - even anywhere in the U.S. would be a help :thumbup:

These are the guys I use don't know if they do exhaust but it's worth a shot just to call them and find out. Most guys wont do 2 stroke pipes but four strokes have no oil but they do degreasing too. All my plating has come out fine just trying to save up a little more for the chrome and sherms out here in sac is way over priced veere away from them as they wanted $950.00 to do the chrome on my H2 and almost all the bolts are new and weren't included cause they don't need it and my chambers aren't even getting chromed. The other guy is doing it for $500.00 wich is fair because chrome is getting more expensive by the day. Is there that much chrome on an H2 :P

Mine too, but most of it has a protective layer of polyurethane on it.

I've had good luck with Brown's in Paduca, KY. Still have some on my Z-1 in good shape and it was done in 1982. They are a little pricey though.

+1, I asked about a front fender and they told me $250. I told him I'd wait and see if a NOS showed up first.
