Hey Jason,

Follow these three threads for a rechroming adventure by AKMAC! Don't forget your sunglasses, and be sitting down when you see the prices he spent for this!

Bikenutt, you have a good chrome place in Omaha by the name of Industrial Plating which is located north of Creighton College. I've had quite a few xs11 parts done, side covers, etc. chromed there with good results. Ask for Randy when you go in. I would guess about $600 for side covers, valve cover, carb bowls and diaghram covers (outside carbs) starter covers, etc.

With the right technique you can buff up your alloy covers to a very similar to chrome shine and save a bunch of dollars.

Yep i called them today and he said the best thing to do is bring the bike to them and then he could give me a better quote.
