| I used to live in Poole but currently I am a Expat living in Mumbai for 2 years. I am restoring 2 400/4 and a gs100gt. I used to post now and again on the SOC board but have never felt like joining the club. My story is that I can get chrome plating done very cheaply here in Mumbai and that includes plastic plating which is very hard to get done in the UK, I manage to get my gs1000 indicator replated for £1.20 each and a friend’s gt380 airbox covers done for £5 each. I tried to post on the classic section but was unable to login after the update so email the admin and was told that I had to become a member. I replied that I was only going to post that I could get plastic plating done for the old gt models which I thought a lot of the gt owners would be interested in and never got a answer back of the admin. |

It's my wife that works here, and it was something I was thinking about doing to keep myself busy. It's also a heads ups, I don't know if anyone ever comes here on business, They can turn around in a few days if you push them.
They still use hex chrome, not the blue tinted stuff they have to use in the UK now.
This little lot cost me £45

This done in a one week turn around
Here's the plastic covers

I have another batch being done at the momment, I bought a 1hp polishing machine from a guy that sells hardware to all the platers in Mumbai, and he is taking this batch to some off the best in the city for a test plate and quote. He said he can get them quad plated. This means Copper followed by dull nickel then bright nickel then chrome. Also being sorted by him I don't have to pay white price. Will see how this goes before offring any service. |

| Looks good. Just a heads up, the club does not allow business ad's of any kind on the froum. But as your just a nice guy trying to help those poor Jab bike owners i'm sure no one will moan  _________________ If it doesn't happen today you can bet it'll happen tomorrow!  |

There is places here with tanks that big but the shipping and customs would be a nightmare,and I can't see my misses bring back a pair of bumpers when she comes home from the UK next week. Have you tried South coast chrome, they can do jobs that big. And for a laugh try alderney plating. |

Yeah they are at creekmoor,

I have found them to be less expensive than others in the area. |
