Who are you using for chrome these days Roy? I switched from $%££% to Prestige and so far so good. Pity 'cos $%££% excellent when I 1st tried him out but deffo went downhill last time I used him

He's the same guy Ash. He did the few chrome bits on the Bomber okay recently and the 350F before that so hoping for the best. Price seems okay though. You don't happen to have a spare set of 750 oil pipes for sale do you.

They use a heat cycle method to remove the paint and filler, then chemicals to remove the rust. Then it's phosphated to prevent flash corrosion.

Roy - I'm curious. Do they clean it in a pyrolitic oven to remove the paint / de-rust?
royhall:
Not sure what it's called James but it is a heat process of some sort. They did my GS1000 tank when I was having problems with it and the process removed all the paint/filler/and attempted solder repairs. It came out really well, but they wont do older British tanks as they are soldered together and just fall apart.

Roy… I’ve been keeping quiet coz I’m such a long way away, but yep, I have a serviceable set of oil pipes off my K2 - though they really would benefit a recondition.
I’m away from home right now, but if interested will post pics.
Price, if interested, upon receipt the postage costs + give me what you’d have sold them to me for…
Let me know,
Simon
