Been working on this bike for the past few months. Drove her home 2 hours from Tampa and proceeded to tear down to the block for refinishing and maintenance overhaul. I will get much better pictures once she's out on the road.

That looks fantastic. Is it a costly process?

I did the Plating in house so it didn't cost me much. Its extremely durable and corrosion resistance is superior to pretty much anything else. Toughest part was sealing up the piece so I didn't plate the inside!
