I love chrome. Looks way better than powdercoat. Is kinda expensive... $1.00 for every nut and $1.00 for every bolt. $25.00 per a-arm, etc. Check out mine...

 

My rear axle on my X is crome. How do I keep it looking good and not rusting, chiping, etc... this winter when I hit the snow? Any tips you guys could give me? Thanks a lot!

 

Chrome DOES make it weaker, i wonder why the guy told you that it doesnt make stuff weaker? Maybe cuz he makes a living off of it?!?!?!? But it does, not a whole whole lot, but i KNOW it does!

 

cannondaleMOTO440- I know Scott and Brad. When did you get his bike?

 

About a year ago, Not his 300 if thats what your thinking. His R before that. Is Brad his brother? Cuz thats my name too. I havent ridin it in 5 months, broken wrist and all kinda other crap. But anyway, do you race?

 

If chrome weakens the part why does every aftermarket axle come in chrome and guaranteed for life.Also other high stress parts like a-arms and sterring stems. So before you say stuff you know nothing about do some research first. And the guy I use does all diffrent types of coatings so he has no need to push just chrome plating.

Yea Brad is one of his brothers. I thought you meant his 310 because he is trying to sell it. Yes I race. This year I am going to the Macon, London, Muddy Creek, Lorretta Lynns, Benton, MO (tt), Greenville, TN (tt) and Casey, IL Nationals. I am also going to race a 10 race series at a track in Tyler, Texas. Are you going to any Nationals?
