Whats better? fake chrome on plastic, or real chrome plated over metal?
Harley's use real chrome on metal
Japanese Cruisers use plastic chrome
What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?
Whats better?
Chrome is really about looks. I have a 1986 that has plastic covered with chrome, no chips and none have fallen off, but just like most things if you abuse it and hit it, then it would had been chipped by now, but by itself it won't just fall off. As for better or worse, depends on what you want it for, plastic with chrome is generally lighter than metal with chrome, but when looking at either they both look the same. Of course you won't use plastic with chrome in high heat areas, such as exhaust pipes or in high stress areas, like handlebars, but for just looks and decoration then it comes down to weight.
