question about chroming
Have a couple questions about chroming.
Firsty, does anybody know a price range for chroming a gsxr frame.
Second, I was told by my friend that to chrome a aluminum frame it would need to be sanded down w/ 80 grit, is this accurate or not.
Third, does it add a significant amount of weight to the bike?
If you got any info or ppl that do this please list the info here, thank you in advance.

no you have to usually smooth out the frame like polishing and then chrome it. If you are looking to get your frame done here are a few items i have done with some updated pics of my current project bike in the assembly process.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”
