Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

Hi all

Since i have decide to restore my 500 i need some input from members. I'm thinking of putting chrome on the 500. I know that the bumper the Handles the gas cap and the Nose Cone are Chrome but i would like to put more chrome on it.

What about the top and the bottum motor mount and the brake assembly? What else can i chrome under the hood? Are the brackets of the bumper suppose to be Chrome or just black? Mayby chrome brackets would be nice.

Tks to all

Take care

Hi Rock,How about the primary clutch cover? Mabe the secondary clutch too as long as where the drive belt rides is scuffed a little so there is no slippage. I would probobly keep the bumper brackets black.

Jeez, when it comes to chroming extra parts, there may be no end to where to stop. I'd add in the tri-pod carb cover, the shroud around the motor head, the gas tank, the 500 has the extra brace across the top of the handle bars, the tin covers on the gearbox would look cool in chrome. On the ski seater, maybe some chrome toe clips, seat spring or the spring clamps.

Like I said, where would you stop to get a tricked out Diablo?
