Re: Polishing and Chroming.
I have a new Daytona with the wheels, swing arm, triple clamps, pegs and
brackets and a lot more chromed. It looks good (IMO). The wheels cost
about $1,200 US to do . the rest of the parts vary.
BTW, My RED St is basically stock except for the Triumph pipe and bags and
trunk.
