-Hey all

I have a used swingarm for my 98 Standard and I was wondering if I could have that baby chromed? I get a deal with my chrome and have never seen a Valk with one. Is there any issues to beware of, good idea or not? Any help is appreciated

Big Mike used to have a chrome swingarm for sale, so it must be doable...

I think it would be hard to keep clean, I hate polishing chrome anyway.  These valks already have too much chrome to polish.

Yes it can be Chromed.  Take off the plates on the top and bottom that are pop riveted on before sending them to the shop. You may consider removing the races, I did not bother and have had no adverse effects.  Recommend you get the Final drive done as well.  JP Sonnier (Hard6) did a great job with mine.  His web site is down, at least the one I book marked. Try to get him here      jps_one@hotmail.com
