I don't know who's quoted you that kind of money but it's way above what I would pay. Try a quote from these fellas http://www.ashfordchroming.com/motorcycle-chrome-plating

Had mine done and a load of other parts done in St Helens only cost about 70 odd quid the lot, looks better than new now.

This was a quote from them!
I sent them some photos of the guards and this is the price they stated
and my description is pretty accurate  just dull and lifeless and light pitting, they are not as bad as some being sold on ebay at present

I'll contact St helens next guys


and thanks for the replies.
