They would look great on the classic speedsters!
I'm in for a bulk order!
Nice find, Al. The stainless blades are especially nice.
A hundred of bucks, or more for a pair? Oh dear.

Chrome does add to the classic look while the black sets run $68.
I eschew chrome on my Spyder. I painted my wiper arms hammer-tone silver. Blades too, except the rubber and stainless spring stuff.
I'll say chrome looks better than black on a 50s car.
As many have said before, it's a big tent.
Kelly, a rattle can of whatever color you like is $10. And paint won't blind you in the sun like chrome will.
Wonder how much it would cost to chrome plate the parts locally.
"Dull aluminum" rattle can
Count me in if there is a group buy.
@wombat asked: “Wonder how much it would cost to chrome plate the parts locally?
Somewhere in the vicinity of 3X - 4X the original cost.
There is no local place that will chrome stuff. ‘Cept maybe in Louisiana or maybe one place in PA.

You beat me to it. Chrome platers around these parts are no more.
I wonder what you gentlemen think a set of chromed wiper arms should cost? Take a trip to your FLAPS and see what a set of wiper blades cost. $50 gets you two Bosch blades and a hale and hearty "thanks" from the kid behind the counter, assuming you don't go nuts with the blades.
I would use a chrome shop that was in Paterson NJ, any customer other than a Harley guy would get pushed back in the plating job line. Five chrome plates still around Pittsburg PA and another near the airport Industrial Rd. Harrisburg PA.... be prepared to empty your pockets.
I’ve used this place in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Their work is excellent, turnaround time was 3 weeks last time I used them, about 6 months ago.
The cost for these parts for a 1939 Servi-Cycle was $300. Everything was pretty crusty, except for the big head nut, which I made new.
Kinda' makes a set of wiper arms for a hundred bucks look pretty reasonable, assuming you want your wiper arms to be chrome.
Doesn't look like they have to 10" blades that are used on a speedster, their 11" is too long. I sent the Vendor an email inquiring about the 10" blades.
Like those of us Harley nuts say--Chrome don't get you home!!!
