I would also highly recommend Brown's. Another is  Meclec in Fresno, Ca. Good quality work and used to be excellent turn around time.

Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar.

One nice thing with Browns is they know what the parts are and how they are used. Knowing where to buff or polish and what not to chrome is a big plus when it comes to motor, trans, and other functional parts.

warning...this guy isn't cheap. He is sought after by the top restoration car restorers and builders in the world. He states right on his web site that he has the finest chrome in the world...if that means anything to you.

  :up:   10-4 on that. They also have fixtures and plugs made for specific parts, to keep from plating bushings, etc.

Sure thing Daren, I've used them since my first bike, 1981. They're a class act, the chrome looks like it's a mile deep. Ask them for a lead time, in the winter and spring they're swamped.

I'll add another +1 for Browns, all the chrome on the chopper I built in 1970 was done at Browns (I didn't realize they where still chroming bike parts)

They're still in business. I had an inner primary done for a friend recently and it was the nicest chrome job I've ever seen. The last time I used them was back in the early 70's for my Honda 750.
