I've read about chroming the brake disks. Are you going to do that too?

That would definitely look nice, but would it increase you stopping time?

it chromes everything but the actual braking surface

Tazfl, while I do agree with you in regards to not being able to see much of the rear wheel......I guess I'm just a chrome whore. LOL. There are a ton of other things going on that are chrome as well.

The chrome lowers will make a world of difference, i had them done on the yellow bike in my sigpic, really stands out

i have a question for you. i want to get my lower forks chromed this winter. i have a local chromer that does my work. did you have to seal the inside of the fork tubes to keep them from getting chromed when you had yours done. bill

The guy chroming my parts said it's actually best to polish the brake rotors. I believe he said it has something to do with the heat that they generate.

Not to my knowledge.
