I think they are difficult thinks to chrome Neil, as you can't polish them like other parts because of the blast finish. We could PM RS a chromer on here and ask him to comment. My 400/4 ones were rechromed in 1986 and company long out of business I think.

Mine were done as part of a job lot - brake lever, spacers, kickstart....
One has a small area of rust now.

I would reckon that these sand? castings will have pososity from new as well as a poor finish making plating a bit hit and miss.

bike-pusher:
They've been chroming them for me for some years, and this is the first time there's been a problem.

Clem2112:
That's plating I guess....
It is kind of science but not an exact one  !
