Hey how are you guys doing. Just curious has anyone chromed their XB engine? How does it look? and do you have any pics? I've seen where people have polished the frames, wheels and swing arm but I havn't seen a chromed engine. |

i don't know about chroming the engine, but i polished out the primary and cam covers. Along w/ the chrome pushrod covers, makes it look a lot better than the crinkle black paint and black plastic it had from the factory |

do you have problems with it tarnishing easy? Is it permanent or do you have to polish it regularly? Do you have any pics? |

see the '4 years later...' thread just below this one for pics.. periodic applications of elbow grease keep it looking pretty nice |

The layers of the chrome job surely will decrease cooling. |
