550 k3 pipes rechrome

[Norniron]

Im considering getting these k3 pipes rechromed as long as its not extortinate.
Has anyone on the forum ever had 4 pipes rechromed?if so could you give me an idea of price?
Thanks

You will be lucky to find anybody to do it as the internal "Cack" (enginmeering term) wrecks the vats

Could they be sealed before chroming by any chance

Loads of money Mate. It all depends on polishing and what condition they are in. It's more expensive to re-chrome these days.
I had 2 down pipes done £90+ the vague addition to the total. 2 lower folk legs £100+vat.

[Norniron]

They are in very good condition internally.the exterior has face rust but no dings or damages

I would imagine it would be in the region off £400 ish, there's a fella called Bob Copper in the midlands who rechrome's 2 stroke exhausts, cheers  Mick.

Hey trigger this is what i would like to build,well something along these lines

[Trigger]

Bryan is right, I had to have the down pipes blasted before the any chrome.

[Trigger]

Very nice mate. You better get a move on, summer soon.

[Trigger]

Whats the budget for the whole project?.  

[Norniron]

Well the bike cost £420.so was a bit of a steal.
I think il budget £2000 tops.so £1580 left.£10 already spent on four float pins

Sorry , i was watching a 1977,CB550F on ebay that was in good nick go for £726.
Tight budget on your bike. Is the engine good?.

[Norniron]

Yea the engine is nice and the frame is in excellent condition.im not gonna use clip on bars.probably use wide renthals.this is the original bike.

[Trigger]

Hold on, I thought the first picture was the original bike. You had me worried then. Whats the first picture got to do with your project?.

[Norniron]
