Just throwing this out here to see if anyone knows of a good chrome shop in the Milwaukee/Chicago/Madison area. Being the land of Harley's, you'd think I would have no problem finding a good shop. Unfortunately, of the 5 or 6 bike shops I went to, not one of them said they (or the place they send stuff to) would touch "car parts". I always get a half-arsed explanation as to why. Basically, I want to have an upper plenum chromed, along with a few very small parts. I know it's possible, as one of the vendors offers this service... not to mention I've seen quite a few posted on here as of late. Reason I want *mine* chromed is because I'm doing some custom work to it before-hand, so it's not just a matter of swapping cores... not to mention I'm tired of constantly polishing bare aluminum (mine will be up for sale shortly). So, if anyone knows of a place I could have this done with minimal turn-around time, some contact info would be greatly appreciated. And so people look, here's two bad pics of the progress so far. It's missing a few bits and pieces here and there. Almost done with 80 grit, but it goes much, much quicker after removing the initial casting/80 grit stage.

. And part of the reason I'm swapping plenums is this: . 
. Should have the last of the parts for the fuel set-up by weeks end. Research led me to believe that the Aeromotive 10 micron paper element should be sufficient when compared with stock. ~Mike
