Last time I failed because the red was transparent.　Since the work time is limited, I masked the symbol mark and repainted it in purple.

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”（No. 14） ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ I thought there was no part to fix the headlight lens, but there was. It seems to cover this ring from the top of the lens and fix it with a screw.　I didn’t know this method last time.
