yes everything is dipped in chrome...wheels...swingarm...subframe....forks...e verything other then the frame is chromed...real chrome...removed and taken to a chrome shop in miami who did all the work for me...i have all receipts and kept them just incase i ever wanted to sell....yes ur right polish wont do anything for a bike...it never looks good unless done right....and its not worth money...all it takes is man hours....not like chrome....the reason the frame isnt chrome is because u know that means disassembling a whole bike and i didnt want to do this...so i opted to have it polished...but everything else is chrome man...and cost me a shitload...u know it cost quite a bit...thanks though for ur input....any buyer interested i have all reciepts for chrome work and its still under warranty...thaks...alex
