    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...

I've been told that the most expensive part of getting a piece of steel chromed is the prep work. That being said, call a chrome shop and ask them what it would cost to only have it dipped. You could prep it yourself and drop it off for them to dip it. Just a thought.
 
It would probably be cheaper to find one at the junk yard....:-k
 
Yeah Bippy you are right.I saw a 1966 Triumph 650 restored the other day in a restaurant plus they had motorcycle pictures all along one wall and it made me want to go back with the chrome fender.If i cant find one reasonable,like say 35-40 dollars, it will stay painted.
