I've never seen a chrome plated Comstar
« on: December 18, 2012, 02:26:21 AM »
But I'd like to. I'm considering it on a bike I'm building,but would like to see one before I get too carried away. I've spent days googling with no luck. Anyone ever seen one? Pics please!



oh,and I mean the early C-star,not the inverted ones.Thanks!
The darn fool didn't know it couldn't be done...so he went ahead and did it anyway.

Here's apic of a partially disassembled and polished one , you can kinda get an idea.

Over at HondaChopper.com there was a guy that hand polished a set a couple of years ago but I couldn't find that link!!!

Here ya go, about halfway down the page: http://choppercharles.com/cs/forums/46509/ShowPost.aspx

I think it looks mighty nice, but I think the wheel is just too ugly.

You could buy other wheels for the priceof the chrome.. Canyou get one chromed for less than 300 each?
