Anyone have a good lead on places for getting some bits re-chromed?

They did a kickstart and a headlight rim (quite a thin item) in about 2008 and it still looks good.

Re: Chrome plating
If your parts aren't too bad, try polishing with aluminum foil and water. My original silencers looked very rough but 15-20 minutes of aluminum foil polishing made them look 95% of new.

Re: Chrome plating
Thanks for the leads, and I have tried the foil route, but a bit too far gone.
