Default wanting to change to brushed chrome look

anybody interested in switching chrome parts for brushed chrome parts? I'm wanting to change all my engine parts over to the brushed look on my 2012
denim road glide.

Instead of trading, why dont you just get a scotch brite pad or 000 steel wool and brush your chrome?

Because the brushed is brushed aluminum, not brushed chrome.

Steel wool won't do what you want, I use it to clean my chrome, scratch free.

You asked about brushed chrome not brushed aluminum, frankly BC would last a lot longer. Good luck

That's the first thing that came to my mind too. It turned out looking badass. I would try it on an extra piece of chrome and if that's the look I was after I'd go for it. Good luck
