Painting motorcycle rims? I am working on painting the rims black for my 1973 CB450. I have already bead blasted the (pitted/rusty) chrome off of the rims and am debating which paint would be the most durable. How would you rate duplicolor, vht, or any other black wheel paints? Thanks in advance. P.S. I already filled the pits with jb weld, so powder coating is not an option.

How much for rechroming an 18 inch wm2 motorcycle rim? IM restoring a BSA B44 and am thinking about having one of the 18 inch wheel rims rechromed. There is rust on the rim but not too serious with some pitting. The rim is an original Jones so I thought it would be worth saving. Any idea how much this costs and any recommendations, IM in Surrey UK. I want chrome that lasts not some rubbish which flakes off after a year or two!

Who can tell me what this is on my motorcycle rims and forks? So, I've purchased a used motorcycle that has a little bit of rush and tarnish on it. I've been using never-dull and a turtlewax chrome polisher and rust remover to get most of it off of the engine and exhaust. But there is something that's on the forks, wheels, and front of the handlebars that has me puzzled. It's not rust. it's not scratches. Its something that's "on" the metal. It looks kind of like miniature silly string. With my finger nail I can tell that it sits on top of the metal. It seems like it might be some sort of corrosion, but so far it hasn't come off with gasoline, the never dull, or the turtlewax product. I know that the person who had this motorcycle used to park it at a pier next to the ocean...I don't know if that helps. I'm hoping someone can see this and recognize it. Maybe then I can figure out how to remove it. I've posted a picture of it on tinypic. Here is the picture link: http://i34.tinypic.com/1zxtdth.jpg Thanks!

Have we (as a society) lost our ability to see important priorities? I see a lot of very questionable priorities both in my professional and personal life. For example, I work as a loan collections officer and often times I'll call someone and get a tear-jerker story about how they're broke and have no money. Then I look in their account and see that they have a $15,000 motorcycle loan, or I'll see lots of transactions where they're going out to eat, or buying jewelry, or something similar. Then when I get out of work and watch the news I've seen things like people pitching tents at 4am in order to get in line to buy an iphone at a mere $600 a piece (its a cellphone for crying out loud!), or when I go out grocery shopping I'll sometimes see someone in front of me paying with food stamps who is wearing very nice shoes and then drives away in a car with chrome rims. Have we as a society gone completely blind to proper budget priorities? What the heck happened? Please share your thoughts. Thank you! flower: the blame-game that you're playing is part of the reason that we have this problem. You're essentially arguing that personal responsibility has nothing to do with it. I must say that I strongly disagree.

Legal question. Please Help. what rights do we have? My husband took his motorcycle to a shop to have the rims chromed and was told it would take 3 weeks. It has now been 5 months. He calls several times a week and they say it will be ready the following week, that week comes and goes and its never ready. My husband has now missed the whole summer without riding his bike. I feel at this point they are giving him the run around. We are ready to take legal action at this point but ive never been thru something like this. Where do we even start?

Hit curb at about 30 mph? I didn't slow down for a turn. Dumb on my part. It's fun taking corners sharp. I don't do it anymore after this. But I was at a light and i took a left turn real quick and I saw a motorcycle come up on the same direction I was turning, so i swerved a bit to not hit them. And i hit a draining ditch curb. It was loud. I almost lost control. I'm a young driver. And So then I pulled over off the road. and the right passenger side rim was scratched. And my tires were okay. I was frickin scared. Now theres some scratches on it. Only on a certain part. Will it rust. They are custom. I don't know if they are chrome or aluminum. And I don't have enough money to take it to the shop yet. This is my car and I don't want my parents to know. Do I need to get anything checked out also? My signal light came off too and I shoved it back in. I drove it today. It's not moving on its on. Driving like it always has. Just wanna be sure

where could i get my motorcycle rims dipped in chrome around the seattle area????
