I’m going to start making sheets now.   I don’t have confidence in sheet production.　But I want to make it as I imagined it, so I will do my best to make it myself.

Remodeled based on a used broken seat.

As a result of thinking about what to do with the frame, I decided to make it a carbon pipe.　I bought it on Amazon.

Fix the carbon pipe with FEP.　Mask the motorcycle so that the FRP does not stick to it.

I’m thinking of putting an acrylic plate between the sissy bars.

The upper part of the backrest is made of wood for easy processing.　I think the production of sheets will continue in the future.

Please take a look to the end.

Paste FRP on the back for reinforcement.　Originally, it would be better to make the backrest from an iron plate, but I made it from FRP because it does not fit two people and it has …

Then paint the other parts purple. The cowling is also masked and painted purple. This is the stage before …
