Hey all. I've still got a long way to go with this one, but I snapped some pics. Here it is in all it's (washed out pic) glory!

Before recent update:

After a few touch-ups:

the cromos are so hot. I wonder how much it would cost to get a tank chromed?

 

[Guest]

I just got quoted roughly $300. A little spendy IMHO.

[Guest]

So tell me how to post a pic and I do one of my '99 Cromo

to each his own... I gotta go with flat black, or red (to match my alfa)...147 days 'till I buy my monster :-D.

I go my stock '96 M900 red tank chromed last year. It cost me about $250.00 at

Metro Plating
227 East 10th Drive
Mesa, AZ 85210

Looks great. There are a couple of small seam marks on the weld line, But a well placed tank pad fixed that. I also went with poly-chrome Ducati stick ($6.00 on eBay) to replace the original side lettering.

I want to get my tank chromed as well.... hoping to find someone in the North Jersey area for this.

I Have seen helmets that are a dark chrome. Chrome yet black. I know a few people here have them. That would be cool on a tank and seat cover. That I would do.

Any pics? That sounds interesting.

no, but my girlfriend got blinded one day riding home on it during rush-hour. Basically, she didn't have sun-glasses on, so every time she looked up the sun blinded her, but every time she looked down (to have her helmet block the sun) the tank blinded her. Doh!

My 01 Cromo's chrome is decent but not American Show Chrom quality. I have a few dents and plan on getting it fixed and rechromed. A nice chrome job should cost about $500 - not super spendy for a Duc mod.

 

[Guest]

This is not the best picture. I have a few of riders from track days. I will have to track on down.

 

[MagnusVer]

That would look sweet on a tank... and swingarm. Would love to see more pics if you have them.

 

[Guest]

I will see what I can find. But I am at work now and don't have anything with me.

If I remember correctly, there was an Aussie Monster that had the anodized black chrome tank. I'll see if I can locate the pic...
