    Hi all joined today!
    I am rebuilding a 99 955 and quite fancy the idea of having the fork tubes black hard chromed + other bits, I saw an evil looking 1100 bandit a few years back. Once again I have been on the internet and can find nothing (could be me though)!
    Does anyone know of a company that does black hard chrome? Also can anyone recommend a good race can for my 955?
    Thanks!

    I think but I’m not 100% sure that black chrome was banned a number of years ago :confused:
    Maybe what you seen was a very good Powdercoating :)

    Hmm never heard of that stuff, but then I have been out of the bike scene for a long time. Could well have been anodised thinking of it that bandit did seem a little to clean almost sterile may have been a show bike! Thanks for your input.

    Titanium nitride coating is the way to do it :)

    Way over my head, but sounds insanely expensive!
