[gasmanrus]

the frame on my 916 is now a bit sad looking. i was thinking of stripping it down over the winter and having the frame chromed.
has anyone seen a duke like this? i recon it'll look cool with a polished swing arm even with the tank chromed....

or dy'think it'll look too bling bling (crap)

[dickieducati]

no i think it would look really good

[gasmanrus]

yeah dogcock(what a name!) thats what im thinking.

as much as i love the way standard dukes look you just see too many about now. a bit of carbon here & there doesnt make your bike stand out anymore.

im still not decided..........

Chrome would look a little to Harley mate, go for black

[AK]

Go for it!

Join the AK school of bling - his has an 18ct gold swinger in it. (but this was courtesy of ebay, and came out about the same price as a std single sider)

Have you thought about anacoating? - prob better than polishing for long term effect?

I like the red frame on the 999r

[Rattler]

Blimey, black-chrome, I had that effect on some Micron cans I had on a RD350LC a few (far too many) years ago!!!
