What was the original finish on the chain adjusters? Were they ever chrome?

Some early 750Js had chrome adjusters, I'm not sure for how long though. Some adjusters had holes in their sides and some didn't as well.

Thanks Allan. That explains where the chrome ones in the pile came from originally.

Chrome on the 550s.

I think most were chrome but not highly polished so they looked a bit flat like zink.

I purchased a set from an early GS model off Ebay that was chrome plated to restore my 750. They had holes and were spot on to what originally came on the bike. They were in excellent condition and I only payed $18 for them. I've seen the GT adjusters as high as $80. My originals were zinc plated and rusted to hell.
