Oddjob:
Been thinking about what we were talking about the other day on the phone Roo and I think someone is pulling yer plonker mate.
That firm that's saying they think the rear mudguard is made of cheap stainless steel and so won't chrome well is wrong I think.
Just remembered seeing a pic of Micks Lazarus project where his rear guard has clearly been rechromed, http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,26913.165.html reply 177. You can clearly see the pits under the chrome where the guards aren't properly chromed by Honda and they rust quite badly. These never seem to clean up well and you're forced to chrome over the top of the pits. If Mick can get his done and I'm fairly sure there are loads of others who have also had a rear guard done then no reason you can't get yours done, unless the guard isn't a genuine Honda one of course.
Sure you've got the same power supply as me for the zinc plating. What do you set it at?

I didn’t plate it it went off to a firm in South Gloucester to sort.
Said it was not possible so it’s already filled, sanded and primed at the min. Gonna paint it instead of buggering about at loads of cost.
If I see a better mudguard later in the year I’ll swap them but it’ll have to do for now.
Funds are a bit low so nannying up stuff seems the wise thing to do

Forgot to say, came off a 76 500 from that bike yard in the states so I have no reason to believe it not to be OE. Good thought though bud…….
