I made some more progress last night and this evening. I'm waiting on spokes, paint, and chrome for now..... The spokes I bought from Bangledesh are not correct, so they are with someone who knows his business....

Thanks LM!

Brown's Plating did some magic to my old pipes and covers. I am very, very pleased with their work - The first two are the CL77's pipes before/after, the second one is my original KZ900 fender....almost like liquid chrome. They do nice work. I had the shocks and rims plated locally, no comparison.

Very nice. I'm assuming you used brownsplating.com? Was there a huge cost difference between your local guy and them? The quality looks exceptional on the brown's parts.
