I am having my bike hardware dull chromed here in the USA. I have kissed a lot of toads and made mistakes before finally finding a company that can do a job convincing enough to pass. So if anyone is interested in getting their hardware chromed, I can supply you with the contact info so you don't need to run through the gauntlet like I did. I'm going to head this question off at the pass 'NO, IT ISN'T CHEAP' cormiersam@hotmail.com


The round spacer at the left of the photo is original finish, the others are the finish I had done. The second photo is of the finish against KGP3

Nice...!

I'm in the states, who did you use for this?

Librandi's they're in Middletown, PA. You want to talk to Mitch.

Samuel, did you get everything needed chromed? If so, how much did it end up running you? I still got a few more bigger things to get done on mine, but this would be pretty great to get done as well.

Middletown? when I google it it's in Etown?

Been through those places many times!! (near Hershey)

Cheers,

Lex

THat looks rather interesting. I do have a question. Why didn't you go with zinc or other plating?

The original finish on Nortons up until mid-war was 'Dull Chrome' on all parts that were otherwise bright chrome on civilian models. Even the civilian models had a certain amount as a contrast finish in some areas.

There were no galvanised or cad-plated items on the early WD16H.

Amal used it too.

I'm not sure how much this finish was used by other manufacturers. Nortons were, of course, a class act !

Norton !!

Yeah, thanks Rik, I guess I tend to forget the people to whom this finish pertains to in North America can probably be counted on the fingers of two hands, if not one.
