Chrome Exchange Parts For Motorcycles

One of the first things many people like to do when they get a new motorcycle is improve its appearance by loading it up with lots of chrome goodies. One of the options that's available and has been very popular for several years is the use of a chrome exchange service.

The upside of using this type of service is that instead of removing your components, sending them off to a plating shop and having to wait weeks, or even months, to get your stuff back, you can get your "chrome" right now!

If you've decided you can't wait and this is the way you're going to go, there are a few important issues that you may want to factor into this decision. For starters, it's not a great idea to remove your "moving" components from your brand new motorcycle and exchange them for "other" chrome replacement parts.

Let's use the example of lower legs. Say you remove these items from your new motorcycle... and you've only got about 1300 nice and easy "break-in" miles on those babies. When you exchange them for a chromed set, there's a good possibility you could end up with replacements that have 40,000 miles on them along with no knowledge of how they were maintained!

Or how about the rocker box covers. How do you know if the person who owned them prior to you wasn't running the crap out of the motor and maybe because of the heat factor, the components got distorted? It's the same thing with brake calipers, swing-arm components, etc.

Keep in mind the businesses that offer these chrome exchange programs have no idea where these parts may have come from, how many miles have been put on them, or how that might have been abused.

If you decide to use a chrome exchange program, make sure you get some type of warranty or guarantee in writing for fitment and leak issues. And, check to make certain the plating process used on the parts is a high quality copper-buffed, triple-plated chrome process.

If you are just swapping out basic bolt-on items, it's not that big of a deal where the parts may have come from. But keep on the look out for a substandard plating process.
