All depends on what part you want chromed, what condition it is in, show chrome, factory finish or hard chrome  ;)

Try Silver Bronze in Alton just down the road, they did a great job on my 750 K1'a petrol cap - http://www.beckworth.net/ (http://www.beckworth.net/)

I've used Silverbronze really top job, but top prices to. Before anybody say's you get what you pay for!! I know, but I have some big parts to get rechromed, r/mudguard, h/lamp mounts so afraid to ask!!!!!!!

Reasonably priced. Is very subjective.
All good Chrome is very expensive. In my opinion.
I have used a few platers in the past. With results ranging from shite to excellent. I now only use Niphos of Crewe.

A few throw-away comments on this thread... You could try Agbrigg chrome in Leeds... they are very reasonable re prices, very popular with bike restorers, very knowledgeable, but most of all very fast turnaround. Ask for Sean... you won’t be disappointed.
