Does anyone have a source for Chrome Plating Plastic? Specifically, at least initially, I want to get the rear wheel dust cover Chrome plated to match my wheels. My only other choices are to leave it alone (YUCK) or paint to match bike. Thanks to all

Here is a good shot of the chrome vinyl wrap next to the wheel. View attachment 245340

Awesome. I bought the chrome cover for the diff. It looks pretty good till you hold it up next to the dust cover.

Still a lot cheaper than chroming the final drive.

True enough, Place here wants $349 to chrome diff, and that doesn't include tearing down, new bearings and two way shipping.

The chrome job on my final drive was about $160 at the time but that does not include everything else plus shipping to CA and back from Oz. Plus I bought Ken's old final drive for the project so my bike would not be off the road while all the work was going on, so that added a bit to the bill.
