Hi Alan, it's partly just cos I'm curious to know what it is but the condition of the bike is such that if I could sort the plating out, it would be close to mint. I understand what you mean about stainless but things like the coolant pipes, spindles and brackets etc. are unavailable or prohibitively expensive and by reproducing the finish it keeps the bike looking standard. I've called round various plating companies who seem unable to help.
