Off to the Chromium Shop !!!

[Mad Matt]

I can't wait to get it all back!!! We will have a spare set of all the RT parts when I am done so we will be doing a chrome exchange. Please let me know if you are interested because I am sure it will be a 4 week turn around at least for each batch.

That is going to look great!!

I am actually looking to make all of those parts in a black and researching that as I type this... :thumbup:

All my other bikes are Chromed out big time... Going for a change. hyea:

 

[clueless]

how much total weight will be added when you chrome all those parts?

 

[Justin]

I'm sure it'll be cheaper than $3500.00 for all the chrome from brp here in Canada.

 

[Spyder#353]

I guess after chroming my 08. These parts were a lot easer to remove. How much is the chroming cost. I guess about $1000. $1250... Basically those parts are only covers, right? That is going to make RT look great. I told all my friends that I wasn't going to anything to my RT. They just laugh and say. Ya right. Now you show me this.:gaah: It'll be your fault. :roflblack::roflblack:

I have been getting a few PM's asking about price. Once I get these back, next year I am sure, we will be able to set prices for an exchange program.

I will do the rear wheel as a separate batch both for mine and for the exchange as well.

Dang it....instead of eating popcorn come on over here and help me install this stuff !!!!!

Been slammed with our Harley projects....

I have all the chrome back from the shop.

Got the left side installed...that was easy.

Now, I will give anyone free popcorn, beer and a steak dinner if they will install the right side for me.

Hopefully this weekend.

Matt

 

[Lamonster]

Here's a trick for the right side.

 

[Mad Matt]

Here's a trick for the right side.

Hmmmm...we might have a winner for the steak dinner!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip Lamont!

Yea that swingarm bolt is right in the way from fishing it in, this helped. :thumbup:

 

[Eraser]

Hey Matt,looks great.A little suggestion,man...what you can't get back on,send to me...you've got me on file!!:roflblack:

 

[Mad Matt]

Arrrgh...now I have a puddle of brake fluid on my lift.

The good news is, once you pull the plunger out that far (accidentally the first time) you might as well pull it out all the way and then the kick panel comes right off.

Now the re-assembly will be easy.

Then for the brake bleed....probably a job for the dealer, need to read the manual on that one.

RT Chrome

Hey guys. have had a lot of Harley's in the past and most of my friends and dealers that I know all went to Brown's Plating Service, Inc. Phone number 1.260.554-1170 out of Kentucky. The have been doing bike parts for many, many years. Go on line and down load their order blank or look a their site. They have a good turn around time, better in the summer. Good people.
P.S. put my down payment on a 2011 RTS SM5 this week. Got the bike show coupon for $1000.00 off of clothing or add ons. Bought my bike from Jim Potts dealership in Woodstock Il. A great guy to buy from. Hope this helps. Bob

I see by your picture you have what looks like Cool Metal highway pegs. They look great in chrome. Yeaterday I emailed Cool metal about offering them in chrome. Part look just great! One thing about having the chrome done is that the plating places do a much better process than the OEM guys. Bob

Well its all back together. I put the plunger back in half way and filled the reservoir with brake fluid till it poured out down below. Then I pushed the plunger all the way in, then I bled out the 2 banjo bolts. Brake pedal is firm and no error codes.

I will keep my fingers crossed for the test ride which probably won't happen for a few days since its snowing and this is just wave 1 of the storm.

Chrome looks GREAT!!!!

Lamonster thanks for the correction on Kewlmetal. Do you know of a better highway foot rest for the RTS?
