That's what he told me exactly, it would be a very long process and they wouldn't be able to guarantee the work after its finished. He said it would turn out better then I expect. He also said Paul from OCC is getting a bike done in nickel by them. If its good enough for him on a $150,000 bike, it's good enough for me.

it will look good in nickel and give it that old school rustic look.

Dale up there told me it would be hard to tell the difference and that it would look killer. He has done work for me before so I trust his judgment.

Thanks, it really was. Darell up there told me the nickel would look like chrome!!! In person, you can't really tell the difference. It has just a hint of gold tint.
