can i have my caliper chromed??? 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
i have a 6 pot caliper from the 1994 yzf 750sp to put on my ride but i have a chrome rear caliper and the 6 pot is black. i have never had anything chromed before but can it be chromed and do they finish the surface to make it smooth or would that be on me to do its cast iron as best as i can tell

smoke:

Sometimes you can catch them on Ebay. Here's a front one that'll probably go pretty cheap.

I wonder how much hotter they'd run vs a polished caliper...
