I've had some black chroming done on my LC, and it looks great. Doesn't really show up well in pics, but there's an extra depth to it, when you see it close up. Had the expansion chambers done, and the grab rail.

Cheers

Speak to the guys at www.Aerocoat.net they did my night burner in black superchrome (the real stuff)- for Â£130 they blasted my FFB then put a chrome powder on then superchrome over the top the results show below they now do a normal black chrome as well which I belive is a bit cheaper (I wanted super chrome as it was a resto...)-

MK1's werent pink they looked like this-

ORB · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:45 PM »

But i did not mention Mk1's!

Here is a MK2

I know raleigh did not know what they were about when they did the MK2's as they were all odd, but the night burners seemed to follow the same context?

just never seen pink.

I am sure i must be wrong as burners are far from my strong point.

stuey · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:50 PM »

Johhny abbot reproduced mine from the originals I peeled from the frame and they where pink

( much to the amusment of my friends when I show them my bmx with pink bits...)

I think it would be nice I was wrong about it to be honest cos I think it looks a bit odd to be fair....

ORB · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:53 PM »

nothing wrong with pink mate!

Just sure that my Night burner's have never had pink.

stuey · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:56 PM »

I knew if i said that some one would post a pink bike lol... I'll keep my opinions to my self...
