The black chrome on a Pro Class was actually a tinted lacquer applied over chrome. Real black chrome is difficult to get done these days due to the chemicals it produces.
I replicated it on a Pro Class I owned, I went to a local car paint supplier and found a light black tinted lacquer that had a bit of brown in it as that is what the Pro Class had.

Cheers lads ;D mite just get it chromed then :-[

Better still dave sell it me and i will get it chromed ? Its it black chrome now ?

Mark "FHMreader" (he's on here occaisionally but is mainly on Burnerworld) did both of mine but they were already chrome when I sent them to him. As Sean said, it's a tinted laquer but the colour has to have a tint of brown in it for a Pro-Class.
If I get a chance I'll put a pic up, but it's in the "me & my bikes" thread if you want a look and was stunning in the sunlight :daumenhoch:
