    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Chrome shop recommendations

I have a couple pieces that need chrome plating. Some of them are trim pieces on an old Scott/McCulloch 75 horsepower outboard motor, which I believe are pot metal. Brown's says they don't plate that.

Any recommendations?
 
The only place I've had any plating was at Medford Plating in Southern Oregon. The did a rack I made for my dual sport and a front fender for my 650g. They looked find to me, but what do i know. I would think there should be some place closer. Check with an automotive shop as to where they send things. I checked with a paint shop about painting my fender, as I was undecided about chrome or paint. Paint was only$5.00 cheaper, so I went chrome. The automotive shop put it in with his items for pick up when the plater came through next time. I paid the plater direct, no (known) mark up.

Thanks. I can't believe I haven't found a local shop on the internet, but I have not. I may go by the Harley shop and see if I can find out where their customers send their stuff out. I had some Lotus parts done at a shop in Portland about 15 years ago. Not entirely happy with that work. I wanted triple plating, but they did my intake manifold and swirl pot with chrome only. The fron A Arms came out well in nickel over copper.
 
Brown's is local to me and they have been in business most of my life. If they won't do it, there is a good reason.:)
