Check out the craigslist listing above. I didnt even know they made these in the Dream model. Nice.

Now that is cool!

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.

I need a time machine.
Can't afford to get anything chromed right now so I tried some chrome spray paint yesterday. SUCKS!

Oh man what a deal. CRAP I wish I had money laying around for that. I would use it for running errands everyday around town. Sweet and it's a runner too.

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.

Honda every so often would offer a chrome special model. I have seen a Z-50 Chrome and read about others. Here is a rare factory for $1100. WOW, sure would be sweet.

Haha there is no way that was original chrome!

Here is a Z50 chrome for sale.
