Default Gonna kill all the chrome on my bike.

Started stripping all the chrome off my bike last night. Gonna knock all the chrome back down to the nickel to give it a brushed look. It's gonna take some time but should be pretty sweet. Then on to the paint. Sea gloss blue same as a WWII Corsair with a couple red accents. I'll post up some pics if anyone is interested.

as long as his gas cap is on tight, and gets on it from the correct side, he can do what ever he wants!!
