Continuation of cowling production.　Since the plating of the side blinker had deteriorated, I decided to put a plating sheet on it.

Lightly sand the whole thing.

I tried pasting the plated sheet, but the corner part can’t be pasted well.　Trial and error, but crumpled.

I decided to give up the plated sheet and paint it with silver.　Scrape off the plated part to remove the step.　I use instant glue instead of putty.

I blew primer, blew surfacer, and painted silver.　Finally, it is completed by blowing clear.

I will stick the plated molding to the whole cowling.　Plating molding（8mm） is for cars.　Bend the mall using a hair dryer.

Secure the mall with clothespins using glue.

The corner part is difficult to paste the molding.

It took 2 days to attach the mall.　The glue has protruded, so something has to be done.

Also clean the base of the horn and handlebars.

I lost the clip that fixes the headlight, so I made my own.

Covers are attached to the left and right pockets inside the cowling.
