Polish the engine and you will not need chrome. Aluminium will polish and look like chrome if done right. It does require a little patients though.

I want to find some new controls for the right handle bar. It looks like at one point the Brake fluid leaked all over the controls and ate all the black paint off on it.

its the handle bars leaning mc way back causing your issues with the brake fluid,might i suggest superbike bars over the roto tiller bars? much easier to ride B)
