Chrome
Plating Service
Due
to environmental regulations, many platers are being driven out
of business. It's getting very hard to find firms that will take
on small projects typical with classic Honda restoration work.
There is no longer any decent plater in my local market.
I am happy to have found Classic Components located in
Santa Ana, California. These guys turn out exceptional chrome
at reasonable prices.
Here
are "before" and "after" pictures of some
recent work they did for me. Good chrome is hard to photograph,
but this work was PERFECT!
This
vendor understands that surface preparation is the key to good
chrome work. Superior work with quick turnaround. Highly recommended!

Fuel
Tank / Radiator Repair
Bill
Sovitski is the owner of Elizabeth Radiator in Elizabeth, PA.
Bill offers excellent fuel tank repair at reasonable prices. He
uses a plastic material called Red-Kote® which is
superior to other methods. This process locks in surface rust
and prevents further rusting. In addition to this coating service,
he can help if you need more extensive tank repairs.
One
detail, Bill's process requires the removal of the pick-up screens
from inside the tank. I believe this is an acceptable tradeoff
to have all your rust and leak problems resolved permanently.
Expert
radiator repair is available as well.
Bill
owns a GL1000, so he has an appreciation for these bikes.

coating is a superior and affordable surface option for many motorcycle
restoration tasks. The high performance and thermal barrier properties
