They look rather good. Was this local?
I have some downpipes, handle bars and front mudguard I want re chroming.

they look amazing. How do you prepare them for plating?

No prep and still original pitted chrome on them ...just gave him them ( well via my mate) but gave them a quick clean ... turnaround was about two weeks but not sure what's happening with him ...seems a strange setup with two platers running separate companies within the same premises. Always a lottery with chroming though. I recommended this guy to someone on here in the past and I don't think the experience was brilliant so reluctant to recommend again.
Recently Allenchrome in Pocklington did my Bomber bars ... brake lever and a one piece CB250K0 early exhaust (downpipe welded onto silencer). Quite expensive £65 for bars and £40 for brake lever and £160 for exhaust (NOS but badly pitted downpipe) but I have to say that the exhaust is absolutely superb and not an easy thing to replate to match original Japanese chrome. Really nice guys to deal with too ..not grumpy and don't treat you like an idiot.. but can be long leadtimes and not the cheapest around.

Are Prestige as bad as that?
R&S are about 10 miles away from me, Prestige are in Mexborough? so not at all close (44 miles) but I'm seriously thinking that I'd prefer to take them there instead for the rest of my bits, of which there are a lot.

I had the same experience with RS Ken - and wasn't that pleased with finish around joins (on rear guard) when I eventually got it back - was about 4 years ago though

Thanks Ash, it’s almost done.
The paint work is all NOS parts. Took me awhile but worked out only slightly moe expensive then a respray but I can say it’s all original Honda paint 😉
That chromeon yours looks the business. I paid £140 for just the rear guard I got from you to get plated.
