Go for it mate
Plenty of pictures though
Warts and all
Good luck

 

lots of progress reports please..fascinating stuff

 

I watched a demo of a plating kit, which seemed to work very well, at a bike show years ago so I'll be interested to see your results!

 

Bagsy get my footrest hangers done first!!!!!

 

A mate of mine used to do his own nickel plating, although he was a chemistry graduate i don't recall it being too difficult.

Well, not difficult to watch somebody else doing it, certainly

 

Good luck Eric, keep us up to date on progress

 

Didn't even know doing this at home was done - impressed that you're giving a go!

Hope it goes well for ya!

What are you planning to galvanise first?

About 30 years ago I bought a nickel plating kit to do nuts and bolts springs etc on a Kawasaki kh400, I had some very good results, it consisted of a enamel bucket, copper bar to hang copper wire off,green solution,acid to clean nuts etc before they went in the solution, good luck.

 

I have been thinking about buying one of these kits. My latest project (a Yamaha 3VN1)will need plenty of plating doing as it has been left out in the elements for a few years. Looking forward to see how you get on
