No sir, I did at first have things rechromed but I have been working with a parts house out of Tx that gets me OEM parts when possible and if you cant get the parts they have gone to the trouble to get them made so others can have their Bikes look this good. I am a dealer for them now offering ALL the parts needed to restore these old bikes at a single stop. My website is VintageBikesUSA.com but is down at this time. I do all the work myself except the paint. Right now I am using a local guy but insist that they only use Tri Stage House of Kolors Candy Paint. Not only do I rebuild the motors but I also run the roads chasing down bikes across the Southeast. Such a rewarding hobby and everyone should have a few to get around on. ALL my bikes are sold with a free and clear Tn title and includes delivery to the lower 48 states. I do ship them to other country's via containers shipped out of Cali. I honestly have a stash consisting of every year between 1969-1979 in the CT's and the On/Off road SL's. GG
