I have recently purchased all of the necessary chemicals and equipment to do my own zinc plating, mostly for nuts and bolts. What i am interested to know is, were any parts besides handlebars and suspension on a DT1 chrome plated? or all bright zinc plated?
Perhaps the brake actuating arms and wheel axels were chrome plated as well? rear axle adjusters, kick starter arm, headlight rim? anything else?
It's more than I thought, the headlight bolts and front fender hardware is chrome also
Quick look around looks like tripple clamp bolts, axles and axel nuts, clutch and fr. brake perch bolts all chrome
The handle bar clamp bolts and the shock bolts are chrome, the rest are zink, I could be off by a couple, don't have an assembled '70 model to look at
Which year of DT1 is it? Some years there were changes like engine cases were painted or polished.
