Two questions you gotta ask your self--(1) is there rust under the original chrome (2) do you what to change the bike from original?

If you have rust--leaving it is not an option in my book,Chrome paint is still changing the bike--that's ok but something you must decide.

I just got back from talking to a local chrome shop---I decided to change how the bike came original and only re-chrome the fork and paint the rear stays(the catalog shows styles)So I'm staying with in limits
