My 05 Vulcan's housing chrome wrap started to bubble and peel so I decided that I'd take all the chrome off, repair the crack and re paint it to match the body. Now that I'm half way through with the first one (this stuff is stuck on better than I thought) I'm begining to wonder if not having he metal plated chrome that's on it now will affect how it cools the bike. I'm a newbie and have the clymer manual on the way trying to restore this bike. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
