is it worth re-chroming bars?
11/25/05 at 16:03:41

Hi. rescued my suzi a year ago but not before she had sat outside for three (count 'em--three) years...these people drive you nuts!! she's pretty clean now, but the bars are looking pretty crappy still - i actually don't mind the shape of them. i have an '88 with the flat ones.

Should i just get another or a harley set (i hear they fit) .. a friend told me it cost $50 to re-chrome a little screw so not even sure if i should look into that.

any thoughts or experiences?

They're a little wider than my drag bars & have a very comfortable bend. There are cheaper handlebars out there too.
