Love my Limited with CHROME!

[Sting]

Well guys I posted before that I had bought a custom rear fender from Maurice at MBL Innovations. http://www.mblinnovations.com/store/Dir-dirbrowse-10.htm I then had Maurice ship the fender to Paul's Chrome in Pennsylvania. (www.paulschrome.com) Paul's Chrome has finished it and they shipped it to me in Louisiana. We put it on today and let me tell you it is a beauty. First let me say a big THANK YOU to Maurice! A first class gentleman and true Spyder friend. I hope to meet you one day. Paul's Chrome too is first class. Thanks to Dawn and Jim and Bill. You guys were great and your work is outstanding. The fender that comes stock cannot be chromed because of the type of plastic BRP uses but Maurice really makes a nice fender using Carbon Fiber. The folks at Paul's Chrome were really impressed with the fender and its construction and were excited to take on the project. So with 3 States involved and shipping and communications back and forth, the end result was well worth it. In my opinion it really sets off my Spyder. For those who don't like chrome it wont do much for you but if you are like me and you do, I wish you could see this in person as my pictures don't even begin to do it justice. It has been raining here but first chance I get I will take some better pics.

I need to add this as this was a learning process. I scoured the internet for a reputable company who would chrome plastic or fiberglass. There were guys right here in Baton Rouge who chrome but when I told them what I wanted they looked at me or talked to me like I was crazy. When I called Paul's Chrome they were up to the challenge and were confident they could do it. Their process is not just some dip in chrome. It goes thru a series of metals and the finished product is rock solid chrome. The first fender was chromed and I waited nearly 6 weeks for it. When I got it it had curled a bit from the chroming process. A new fender would be needed with a spacer to keep its shape. A call to Maurice and he was extremely helpful. He devised a spacer that attached to the fender so it would keep the shape. That fender was sent to Paul's Chrome and it worked like a charm. Long story short is if any of you guys are considering getting the fender let Maurice know so he can put the spacer on it else you will be like me buying two fenders. Let my mistake be the lesson. Also just in case any are wondering, no the stock fender cannot be chromed. They type plastic it is made from moves and expands so the chrome would not hold.

:agree: Where are we on the scale of "Wallet Pain" for this one? :shocked:


I wonder if the same process could be worked on the stock tailpiece?

 

[scooterexpress]

i just talked to both vendors for this total cost...900.00 ouch but that does look awesome also if you have the rear flag mount it won't work with this design,maurice told me he's working on another one like this and possibly getting a cheaper model done right where hes at in tennessee wont be show quality chrome but chrome none the less like the chrome pcs on the front of the rts is what he was refering too type..
