Damn threadjackers.

CBR74 is a chrome wh0re. LoL I can never keep up but I have copied a few things. So far Kuryakyn ISO Grips, Shifter, Heal Shifter and Brake. I have a long way to go but ran out of money with my expensive saddlebags. $570 Canadian for K-Drive.

BTW is it posible to chrome the rear pully? Can you chrome Aluminum? Isn't Chroming done by electroplating?

*Tod* · 03-09-2007

Yes indeed, he's managed to make some very nice mods to his bike that we could all aspire to emulate.

I think you would be able to chrome the pulley, or at least polish and coat it to make it shine.

You can chrome just about anything if you know what to coat it with first. The aluminum is mirror polished then coated in zinc, then copper, then nickel, then chrome.

My rear pulley is in Texas getting chrome plated right now. (along with 7 other items)

And I am not a chrome *****, I'm just chrome popular.

Wow that sounds like a long expensive process. You forgot to mention all the chemicals acids in between the electroplating process. I think I will just wait for an after market chrome pulley. There are allot of Chrome pulleys out for Harleys... I wounder if it can be matched up.

$125 and it stays a Kawasaki part... no question of fitment. Harley pulleys won't work... they are 5 lug and Kawi is 6.

Got a little bit of a bling fix today. More Kool Kovers arrived and I was able to do the riser nuts and a few other spots that were Koverless before. Also found a few more spots to put snap caps. Pics are of course mandatory:

The Kool Kovers are definitely "Kool"

. I've got some on order myself.

I couldn't resist them after I e-mailed MC Enterprises inquiring about a 900 specific set and they told me there wasn't one but they would sell me any sizes I wanted for $7.50/pack.
I don't recommend their allen plugs though.. they don't look or fit all that great.

Easyrider32 · 03-11-2007

CBR74. Here is something else you might want. I think you mentioned something about a regulator cover.
