I was googling around last night after I posted this and I found a place in Madison, Wi that specializes in re-chroming plastic car and model kit parts. I emailed him and he wants to talk to me on the phone about the job....Could be a lifesaver for us, and a new revenue stream for him!

Where ever you get it done, I hope it is cheaper than up here; I got a quote from one plating shop, for a set of new exhaust tips, 2 1/4" diameter x 9" long, $150.00 Each. $85.00 each for 2 brackets 5 1/2" long x 1 1/4" wide, 1/8" deep. $250.00 to de-chrome and re-chrome 1 rear head-pipe heat shield.I don't mind anyone seeking their fortune, but I do have a problem with them trying to get it all out of MY pocket, LOL. ;D When you get a price please post it; maybe I can get it done on one of my escapes back to Montana and/or points south of there.

Regards and such,

One of my automotive suppliers just contacted me a couple of weeks ago about their chrome shop.  Don't know if they can do plastic or not.  I'll look them up and post the phone number or address or whatever.

    I fully realize that if I want my Drifter to stay new, I have to park it in a sealed room and control the environment to prevent deterioration, but I won't do that....I bought it to ride...BUT......The P.O. did some damage to the headlight right on top. Scuffs from putting on/taking off windshield. I have cleaned, and polished the headlight, but the scuffs remain...right where I can SEE THEM!!! Looks like a wart on the Mona Lisa's nose..At night, they don't bother me, but during the day, especially when the sun hits them....grrrrrrr! Anybody know of a place that re-chromes plastic ?   No rush, it would be for next Winter, when I'm not riding, unless we have another Winter like this last one....
