innapropriate chroming on a bevel

1- oil filter cover
2-engine bolts
3-banjos

the list is endless no doubt,or perhaps personal taste overrides what others think?
i think the filter cover is a popular one -so im probably in the minority there,but surely there is a limit.
whats generally accepted?

I'm with you brother... IMHO if it wasn't chrome or shiny from the factory, leave it alone. With one exception, stainless steel bolts.

Steve, I chromed the nut ontop of the marzochi fork yolk and the steerer tension nut, also chromed the chainguard on the MHR, but left all else to the "au natural"

Tension nut- the 6mm thick nut "thingy" (great mechanical term that)under the top triple clamp on top of bearing stack. I think that describes it!!

perfect description-know exactly the part your talking about-i just cleaned mine-howd you go with the thread on that thingy when you got it chromed?
