Does anyone make a chrome swing arm cover?

They show a chrome swingarm, but describe the foot-peg cover replacements. I've seen a few swingarms chromed, but no cover yet.

I'm thinking you'd practically have to remove the swingarm to put a cover on it so why not just yank it out and get it chromed? Probably be cheaper than if Triumph made a cover.

Hi,
you know the chrome "stainless" trim people like to put on the bottom of their cars and trucks? Im sure you could find a company in your area that sells it and cuts to fit. it will stick to anything, i got a piece cut for my battery and it cost me $20.00..... im sure you could get a piece cut to put on your swing arm if you relly wanted.

Gary James had his chromed. Have to check his gallery to see if there's a shot of it. Been a while since I've looked at it. BB

TBANG,
I have been bending some metal for my swing arm. I have got it close, but not just right yet. Should not be too much longer, just need one tool. Maybe a couple of weeks. I'll let you know when its done. Pics, maybe.

Tom,
There was a guy on ebay several months back that chromed entire frames for $620. I haven't looked since. He is in California. Of course you have to strip your bike to ship the frame to him. Too much trouble for me - that's why I haven't looked again.
