I told my dealer I was thinking about chroming my grab handles. He said I would need to have them spray chromed as the handles were made of plastic. I asked him if he was sure and he said he had replaced one that had broken on a customers bike.

Can anyone confirm?

If they are plastic, I will just paint them midnight cherry to match the rest of the paint... If they are metal, I will have them chromed...

They have plastic covers on them. I painted mine black. I don't think having them chromed is an option unless you spray them. FYI they are a bitch to get off.

Could always try shooting them with MirraChrome from Alsa Corp.

While I have never messed with this product myself I have heard of quite a few painters playing with it and some are using it to do some pretty wild things.

Keep us posted on this. Some of chrome stuff they sell is already plasti-chrome, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings too much to throw another peice on.
