Pro's and Con's of chrome swingarm?
« on: January 18, 2009, 11:29:46 AM »
Any problems, thoughts or stories anyone would like to share?  I'm seriously considering chroming the swingarm, and was wondering about the rubber bushings for the shock mounts, and I know that the main bushings have to come out and the whole thing thoroughly degreased.  Has anyone had problems with the solutions from the chroming process getting trapped inside the hollow part of the swingarm?

Chrome swingarms are a babe magnet?

Easier to keep clean? 

Draws attention away from an engine that needs paint?

Did I get it yet?



Seriously, you should ask your chrome guy, but I think you're going to have to ream out the places you're talking about.
