Title: Rear brake petal and side stand
Post by: ridered on March 24, 2010, 01:19:46 PM

Can anyone tell me if the rear brake petal is chromed or painted? also need the side stand color as I see some painted black and some silver?
Has anyone used Dupi Color paints in a rattle can for the silver parts if so got a paint code no.

I saw what I believe was an OEM replacement rear brake lever still in bag/box and it was chromed.  Here's the link or you can just type in "bridgestone brake"

Hi Ridered,

The rear brake pedals are chrome when new and the side stand is Cad plated. Hope that helps you. Good luck with your bike.

The rear brake arms on singles were zinc plated, the twin cylinder models were chromed, no single was chromed.

Hi Jeff,

Didn't mean to confuse anyone, I was only responding to the question on the 350 talk section. Sorry if I gave anyone the wrong advise.

Thanks Mike, I guess the chrome came completly off mine and left the Nickle plate as it was the only item on my bike that wasn't rusted as you can see in my before pics in the gallery section
