...._ _ _ _ the chrome off a trailer hitch....
I polished almost the entire motor on the Ironhead, because all the old style "Hard chrome"was peeling. It also make the motor overheat. It had to be done. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I first tried sanding the parts, but it took forever, and you take too much off, and you will still have scratches.
So You need to have them dipped, but nothing too heavy, so as not to damage the part.
I had most parts dipped at a chrome shop in Toronto...Chuck from Mayfair plating did my stuff..he is great. I then polished it by hand. It was a lot of work and a big learning curve..but well worth it. Better than chrome...I think
