What's the best nickel plating method for a motorcycle tank and forks?

I am building a motorcycle from the ground up and would like to nickel plate the gas tank and the front forks. They are both made of steel and cuurently have a black primer coating on them to prevent rust until I can have them finished. What is the best process to achieve a decorative finish with good rust protection and hardness?
