Does anyone know if an 80 XS850 seat grab bar will fit on my 81 XS1100?

Not to hi-jack your thread, but...Anyone have an idea on the cost of re-chroming ( probably send it out ) a grab bar on one of these seats? Mine is an F. Thanks.79 F

Depending on condition, probably somewhere between $150-$400... plating is horribly expensive anymore....Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

I think there may be some reasonable chrome platers in Tennessee. I suggest you look there.Marty (in Mississippi)

Was hoping for under $100. Dang. Seems like back in the day $25 would do it.
I know here in N. MI it is pretty uncommon to have it done.79 F

Go shopping! The old car/hotrod hobby is huge. Look at all the Harley-Davidsons out there! Atlanta has no less than a dozen businesses doing chrome plating.
