I am based in Uxbridge NW London and want to get engine side covers etc chromed on my 1979 z1000 A2 - Can anyone suggest/recommend anyone within in reasonable travelling ? Also can anyone give me an idea of cost for say a points cover ? Cheers all.

Most people polish the alloy cases rather than have them chromed. I can't help you with a Southern recommendation but I use
Lincoln Alloy Polishing
www.lincolnalloypolishing.co.uk
or Agbrigg Chroming at Leeds
www.agbriggchrome.mycylex.co.uk if you insist on this route.
You can post the covers to them.

it might be worth getting ur stuff polished up and then clear powder coated to save money as they have to be chemically stripped and polished before chroming and if your say.. alternator Casing gets stone chipped it's not easily fixed.i know from experience.. polished and coated for me. mark.. see ebay191999084134 chrome tear drop cover. good luck N ride safe
