The Triumph Dealer Installed rack I sourced off of ebay had a very dimpled surface on the three latteral bars. The cost of the chroming for those and the three feet was, let's just say, staggering. There was traces of stainless steel on the lateral bars, and the feet are potmetal. What can I say? Not my best thinking!
