Chrome plating
AshimotoK0:
I had my 500K0 stuff ( rear mudguard, rear lamp bracket, fork ears etc.) , done here a couple of years back http://www.marquerestore.co.uk/. Very professional service and pretty fast turnaround (at the time) .. I think they are expensive on wheel rims though, although I just had a bunch of rims done at Prestige and they are £150 each inc. VAT now.
I would avoid Agbrigg on exhausts. ...just saying ;)

Hi Ken
i have used Agbrigg chroming in the past As you say not concourse but ok for the money I suppose back in the day when our bikes were made Honda didn't go to town on chroming either So maybe OK chroming is passable Ross

I used R&S a few years ago and wasn't pleased with the results Dennis. Rear mudguard was in very good nick with minor rust in the side mount to main guard crease area - which I deliberately left for them to remove as part of their process. It came back with the rust still showing and had to treat and silver paint.

That's not good, things must have changed quite a bit, another one crossed off my list.

Interesting this has just come up, I’ve just requested quotes from both R&S and AGBrigg - quote back from AGBrigg almost straight-away just a/w R&S.
Is there a general recommendation though for a decent plater now but not necessarily to concourse standard? Turn around time isn’t critical.
I note the comment about AGBrigg & exhausts - what was the problem there please (pm me if you want) as part of what I need doing is a set of original downpipes
