Just send what you need done to Mark at MGC and he should be able to send
you the same stuff back nicely chromed. I got my crash bars and fender
braces from him and it didn't cost me an arm or a leg or even my first born.
He makes sure the stuff he gets back from the chrome people is top quality
not crap.

 I bought a new set of crash bars a few years ago for 100 bucks for my
wife's Ambo. I store the bike inside and keep a good amount of polish on
them. The chrome is already pitting and pealing off. A allot of new parts
have poor quality chrome, just look at all the Harley parts coming from
China. You will probably get a better job taking it to a chrome shop.

OK, I know I'm new to the list, and this has probably been discussed
before, so bear with me. I have all of the chrome off the Ambo and want
to send it out for rechroming. It's not real bad, mostly small rust
pits, etc. Anyone have a chromer they would recommend, or any idea how
many hundreds I'll be out for crash bars, shifter, brake lever, brake
and clutch levers?

We have some local chromers here, but I don't know them well enough to
trust.

I'm assuming that it is cheaper to have these parts rechromed than to
buy new, right?
