I contacted several chrome plating businesses but it seems that prices for rechroming are skyrocking in Germany. Some shops were not even interested as old parts mean a lot of preparing. Also prices for alloy polishing are in price regions nowaday I am not willing to pay.
So, I have now sent a punsch of parts  to the Czech Repulic were rechroming is cheaper but they also said the handling time will be over sic months. I will try to polish the rear wheel hub myself. Lets see how all of this works out.

I finished with restoring the seat frame. I replaced every single spring with a new one. I also shortend them to fit exactly to their position in the frame. This took more time then someone might think. The seat together with the kneepads for the tanks will go to a professional saddler to recover them.

I also progressed on the rear wheel and removed the ball bearings which are two FAG standard size “6302” with open cage.

All parts of the seat brackets as well as the kneepads for the gas tank are now freshly powder coated.
