This is heavy plastic that goes around the neck of frame, and wasn't even thinking that the radiator covers are plastic, if they can be caromed why can't this be chromed ?
Is it a different process, that I just need to find the right guy to do it?
This guy said he first dips it in nickel then dips it in chrome twice he said the plastic will melt.
So how do they chrome other plastics on bikes?
As Idaho said the headstock covers are flexible and need to be flexed to fit. That would not work well with chrome which would crack and flake off. The Radiator shrouds are a very different stiff hard plastic that does not have to flex and will not do so without cracking.
