I bought a set when they came out..
You know the ones... you pick up about 1 to almost 2 HP per cylinder.. ( Over heard at a Bike rally )
 Roll Eyes
But anyways, mine is starting to blister the chrome....
Question...Did you send them off to get re-chromed... Or, did you paint them purple?  crazy2

If you clean and wax them they won't blister like that.  One they get ugly put the OEM caps back on and get them re- chromed

i recently bought a secondhand set of the from someone here in the classifieds. They're overall in really good shape but with a few places where the chrome is flecking off. To try to keep that flecking from spreading, is my best bet a little bit of silver touch-up-paint to seal the area?  Thanks

I tried the chrome powder coating and they looked like c..p. So I had them stripped and painted yellow to match my Bumble Bee.
