“Following extensive evaluation, stainless steel was selected as the superior platform for our next generation of V-Twin components. It offers enhanced durability while supporting expanded finish options that provide customers with greater choice in style and performance.
“Stainless steel delivers several key advantages over chrome. Its exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and environmental exposure ensures outstanding longevity and helps maintain a premium finish even in demanding riding conditions. From a sustainability perspective, the move away from chrome plating aligns with Goodridge’s environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.

“Stainless steel production avoids hazardous plating processes, reduces waste, and lowers overall environmental impact. In addition, its clean, bright, polished appearance delivers a modern aesthetic ideally suited to contemporary custom V-Twin designs.”
Complementing the stainless-steel range, Goodridge’s new Black Zinc hardware “offers a bold, stealth-inspired alternative for riders seeking a darker, more aggressive look. Engineered to the same rigorous standards, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and a durable, uniform finish.”
