some guys really hate to tell what they have spent.
i just had the following parts triple plated "show chrome" kickstand/spring,motor mounts,top of aftermarket mastercylinder,rear wheel spacer,center of rear wheel, brake arm stay,rear brake foot lever "custom made by nephew, and 2 other custom made small brackets, they look fantastic! cost me$275including shipping, i had my rear swingarm done last year its4in over, with the adjusters 260. im sure im forgeting at least 1 piece but if your thinking about gettin something chromed i think its better to have a idea what other places charge.
