Looks good, and you probably saved yourself a bundle by having it done to the stock parts.

I've just bought the footboard installation kit it contains a couple of large heavy lumps of black painted metal, I was thinking of having these bits chromed before fitting, but it looks as though they might not be seen once fitted. .... any one know ?

The mismatched chrome, black aluminum, and raw aluminum on the handle bars finally drove me over the edge. I am OCD and cannot stand stuff not to match. It screws with my fungshe... So, when I decided to pull the trigger on the wheels I decided to get the rest of the stuff that was bothering me sorted. Now I dont have to fool with the damn aluminum wheels or get irritated about the mismatched parts on the bars.
Thatch, it only burns when I pee... HAHA

Small world - I have my Bonneville rims being re-chromed by them as we speak.
Do you think they did good work?
