Check out the craigslist listing above. I didnt even know they made these in the Dream model. Nice.
Check this out!!! Chrome Dream !!!
In the 60's chrome plating was dirt cheap. You could have almost anything chromed for low dollars. Example:
My 68 Harley Rapido, Tail light, chain guard, rear sprocket and assorted parts. $10.00
I got goofy and had the headlight gold plated and clear coated with lacquer...$10.00
Those days are gone. Great price on the bike though.

Can't afford to get anything chromed right now so I tried some chrome spray paint yesterday. SUCKS!
I am going to share a secret. I do some of my own plating, but not chrome, but stainless steel plating. Once polished, looks nice. I do small parts and can do touch up plating, called "brush plating"
Go to caswell .com They supply the kits for home plating. My little plating kit costs...ready?....$30.00 + shipping. I can dip plate stainless as well. The science of electroplating is easy. The small kit and a little reading about cleaning metal and anyone can do it.
Here is a Z50 chrome for sale.
