Just trying to work out what the finish is on the cast steel foot peg frame for the 850T/ T3. Thought it was just painted silver but now think it's just un-polished chrome. Any ideas ?

Trivalent clear chromate ("bright zinc plating")

Bright zinc, Cheers.
Don't know what unpolished chrome is just seemed like a good description but I thought before chrome is polished it was a bit flat or have I got that wrong?

No, you have that right. Comes out dull and a metal polisher gets it looking good.
