sid1972:
if your going to do it - get someone like 'sawall' to remove them carefully so they can be put back on if needed..

Unless your a welder/engineer of course - then crack on..  ;)

Do what you want Mike, it's your bike :daumenhoch:

Have you thought about getting just the forks chromed and trying to save the og chrome on the frame? Just that there are plenty of threads about restoring chrome on here, read Bendycat's for a start.

Powder just isn't as cool in my opinion, but re-chroming has to be done sooooooo carefully as there are horror stories out there. Oh, and chrome is tougher. And looks better.

Nice brakes by the way - I see they landed safely :LolLolLolLol:

Spen

ps - did I mention chrome looked better? >:D

benno:
Yep cheers spen , brakes are great cheers :)
When I say I'll cut the standers off , I don't mean me butchering
em off ;) I will get someone proper to do em
I think the chrome on the frame may be past help , but I am going
to give it a go ,
And your right it's GOT to be chrome :)

currio:
I think it would be daft to grind away an original feature of a rare old school bike.
 

twit twoo:
keep them ifits a bike to look at.
if you are even thinking of riding it, cut the fookrs off, theyve had my shoes off several times.
