I have never had any issues or complaints with them and they have always done a excellent job. I sent some shock shafts i had done at Hardchrome services to Thor at http://ltthor.home.comcast.net/~ltthor/forsale.html and he was impressed with them and said he would recommend this hard chromer to any of his customers in Australia if they needed their shafts done.

Post by: LWC82PE on July 23, 2010, 09:28:04 pm: Yeah thats what many people dont realise. Back then the chroming was done to a budget and no where near as good as what todays hardchroming is. Now when you get a set done, it will last out the life of the bike, of course if you look after the bike and dont leave it out o the rain for months and months which im sure no one here is silly enough to do anyway.

Post by: retrowrex on July 24, 2010, 07:12:19 am: Was there a concern over Rad's work????? or was it their people skills. Would be nice to know if there was any concerns.
