Anyone have a good lead on places for getting some bits re-chromed?

They did a kickstart and a headlight rim (quite a thin item) in about 2008 and it still looks good.

If your parts aren't too bad, try polishing with aluminum foil and water. My original silencers looked very rough but 15-20 minutes of aluminum foil polishing made them look 95% of new.

Nice job and nice folks to deal with.

Thanks for the leads, and I have tried the foil route, but a bit too far gone.
