Did you find out how much it costs to re-chrome pipes?

No, hadn't really checked into that much yet, but I'd assume at least something in the range of $200-$300?? Due to the age of these bikes, even if you can find a good set of pipes (meaning not dented, with baffles, only minor scratches), I'd assume they would almost always need re-chroming if you want the bike to look like when it was new. So I'm going to try for a while to find a set of good T350 pipes & re-chrome, or I'm looking into either a set of Jemco expansion chambers or Higgspeed (got a quote for $800 shipped from UK on these, ouch.) Should hear back from Jemco soon. I'd really like to stay with the originals, though....

Any interest in buying these? I also put a post out in the classified section for these with photos. If not, I'll probably put them on eBay sometime soon.
