Can anyone reccomend a company that does chrome plating?

It's cheaper to just strap an iron boat anchor to the passenger seat.

You can't stop yourself.

If its your exhaust, check out Performance Coatings. They have a chromex finish that looks great.

2)wheels
3)swingarm
4)frame

Wayne, I'd ask the local guys who do hot-rods and restoration. Actually, a Hardley-Ableson shop MAY be useful for this sort of information!

Actually, a chrome helmet would look kinda cool. I just wouldn't want to be behind him on a sunny day.
Ya know Wayne, Clayton brings up an excellent point with regard to your helmet: when are you gonna get a new one?!?!?!?! One would think that a guy who is as concerned with bling and general appearance as you are, that you would have a matching helmet.

Why bother, It would clash with his Carhartt riding suit.Originally posted by lrrs167

If you chrome your bike you're NEVER gonna win the GP 500 and EVERYONE and their mother will be able to outride you cause it'll weigh a bah-gillion pounds../end_sarcasm
My friend Sheldon does chroming at the best prices you'll find. If you want I can dig out his number for you. He's on the site once in a while but I forget his screenname.
It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?
I have to guess that you want to chrome the swingarm. Did you ever think about polishing instead? It costs less, and doesn't add weight to the part in question (and it looks better than chrome in my opinion.)

Don't polish instead of chrome. Chrome is 2 seconds to clean once in a while and polish is 4 hours to clean once a week. Chrome really doesn't add that much weight. I remember chrome on the wheels is only like half a pound of added weight. I very much doubt there's a usable diffence.
