This article is also the 10th.　This time is the production of sissy bar.　The “Purple Rain” motorcycle sissy bar has an orthodox shape.
I searched for something that can be attached to CM400, but I couldn’t find it, so I modified the current sissy bar and made it.

Cut the purchased iron bar and make it.

decided on this form.

Fix with gas burner and flux.

Cannot be fixed.

Failure.　I was in trouble, so I consulted my grandfather who was a welder.

My grandfather has a welder, so I let him use it.

Fix and weld the sissy bar.

I tried it too. It was difficult because it was my first time.

I had my grandfather finish it.

I will also remake the stay part of the sissy bar.
