The chrome is perfect! ~The T120R Model is a desirable motor bike~ I purchased this bike from it's original owner.He said the side car has been on the bike its entire life, hence the original low miles. Statistically, bikes with side cars have less miles. The rear tire is extra large and knobby to give more traction for the extra weight. It has an oil cooler and a 56 tooth rear sprocket for extra torque. It is professionally set up correctly for the side car application.
