I barely wash my Valk so I'm usually the last one to be tempted by a piece of chromery. But I ordered a piece from Honda. I bought a plastic-chrome dust cover that goes over the swing arm bolt on the outside of the frame. Mine had gone missing some time ago. I had never found it on a parts sheet and never ordered it. This weekend while I had the local honda parts guy on the phone about other parts I mentioned the round cap. He couldn't find it in the parts sheets either. So he put me on hold while he went and looked at the used Valk on the floor. He asked if I wanted the wing shaped piece that goes around it and I replied, "whoa whoa, let's not get addicted."  He'd heard that chrome can be addictive too. So, I'll try to pace myself. That's the second piece I've bought in the past several years of ownership, but I'm trying to pace myself.  Grin

Good call, once you get the wing shaped thing it's a slippery slope to having the whole bike dipped in chrome...  Wink
