I've not had it done before but seen it at the platers, usually on harley parts and such, this website gives a pretty good description.

No top piece for me please. It looks a little too chunky.

Windscreens
I got mine from Kevin Meyer (Vic Club Member) builds windscreens by order. Kevin lives in Croydon. Got the whole shooting match from him. Reasonable price for top quality work

the only problem i see is having it obscuring your vision
boxhead, i looked into the black chroming and it is very hard to find anyone in queensland that does it but i seem to be getting the opinion that it is very expensive
i will finish the frame to painting stage and post pics on the weekend sorry its taking longer than i hoped (been working long hours this week) but have been trying a few different concepts

I am more than greatfull that you are making one just to see how it is,
Please take your time and I can happily wait.
Trev are you based in Qld? I thought for some reason you where in Vic.
Anyway I am wondering wherever you are is there someone nearby who is building there car that we can drop this screen fram in for a look?

Yep, Trev..no probs. You're welcome to visit again.
Just give us a call when you are coming.
Box, I saw the screen in it's very early incarnation. ie. one leg only.
Cheers

With the frames you have Trev, are they chrome or still in brass or did you get them done in the black chrome you mentioned?
Also do you have a pic of one on a car?
Last but not least, how much?
