Has anyone ever heard of someone getting their cylinder chromed for a 400ex? I have been told it can be done but I was wondering if anyone had any additional info?

I wouldnt chrome it it will hold in more heat. I ve never seen it done on a 400ex and thats probly the main reason. Have seen it done on liquid cooled motors though.

You could polish it.

When i was at glamis in 2003 i saw a 400ex cyclinder the guy took a die grinder and ground the fins flat and then cut little notches in them and looked kinda like bob wire and then he polished them up.It looked cool but was a lot of work from what he said.If your anything like me and have more time than money it would be different than anyone elses except there would be one other one.He only took off 1/16 of an inch off the fins but was cool looking..Chris
