chrome

Exactly what title says.. i've been polishing my aluminum kosmans and the front hub is like being compared to rest and zero imperfections im scared it is chrome.... does anyone know how I can tell???

Found some R1 rotors fully chromed and am looking for opinions in performance. Going to use them with a busa setup but wondering what people think about loosing friction with the rotors being chromed. Also how do you think the chrome will hold up and what type of pads would you recommend? Thanks.

The Tools ----------------------- Vinegar for surface rust. - Contains acid that makes short work of light rust. It can eat the metal and any coatings as well if left for extended periods of time. I suggest 1-2 hours max, but it's up to you. Lots of people have left their rusty tools and...

Thank you so much, Sean! We have to pick up tires yet for my rear and for both of the wife's, but they look great!! :punk: I started putting together the wish list after visiting the shop last week. We'll have to see what happens over the winter...

Need both sides

on the vmax (very slightly) and more so on the hawk i'm fixing up there is some surface rust on the fork uppers. anyone have any luck with specific techniques? I tried some metal rescue rust remover with a rag and it didn't do anything. a scotch brite pad and 1000 grit paper helped a little...

Just had to share. I've seen a Vmax that had almost as much chrome, but not quite as much. I'd think the disadvantage being bright days means blinding driving.

Bought some extra covers from a few of the guys here and took them to be chromed. Just got them all swapped out on the bike. I like the look. Waiting on my pipe so that I can put my Stage 7 in and my new K&N's. Only thing left after that will be my Fatwing Fairing, Air dam, and Hard bags.

My Mark's stainless steel pipes were looking a little ratty, so today I decided to clean them. I've been using BKF ever since I installed the exhaust back in December to keep the discoloration off because I'm like that. I know some of you like to wear the golden hue as some sort of badge of...

Just polished the side covers for my '89 and have to say they turned out way better than I imagined. Plus, they were the easiest thing I have ever polished! 10 minutes each! Also, if anyone has any different springs for shocks, let me know! I want to get rid of/change my black ones. Thanks!

I was talking to a guy who does powder coating and he says that now powder coating has some stuff that looks like chrome BUT he has yet to use it so my question anyone out there know anything about a chrome look alike color???:ummm:

Anyone know if Depot or Lowes has these?

I got the grips off okay but how do you remove that stock ring? I don't see any set screws and used brake cleaner to remove all the adhesive but it still won't budge. I tried light taps with a rubber malet and do not want to break these. Thanks.

well as some of you know i was cleaning my bike last year before the brownie run and it fell over and screwed up my paint job :bang head: so i couldnt live with it and i took it to someone to fix it. well it looked ok in his shop, the airbrushing that was done was still there, but not very...

Not my Vmax rather the ZX12R, but the work was done through Sean. Black chrome passenger peg mounts and red recovered rear seat. The passenger peg mounts are silver when stock. I did the black chrome to have them blend better with the black frame. I had the rear seat done in red (same color of...

Does anyone know where I can buy chrome neck covers for my Vmax? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed
