Has anyone every had their OEM rims on a GL1200 chromed? I also would be interested in what the cost was and if the rims fit after they were chromed?

I don't know about your area but getting OEM rims chrome up here in CT start at $800. I have a few other riding buddies that have metric cruisers that have theres done as well with no issues to date. Me I am looking to get mine done most likely in Jan when the weather forces me to put her away for a couple of months and will keep you updated on progress Chuck goldwingrider 11-26-2009, 10:26 AM I don't think you should have a problem with fit.

I got to know the guy that did all mine on my '84 real well. I had all my Hondaline trim and much of the aftermarket stuff done in 24kt. Tom got lots of my paychecks over a couple years. Ole 24k turned out pretty sweet too. | ||
