Last time I finished working on the exterior. This time it is wiring adjustment, cowling stay adjustment, sissy bar work.

Wrap the wiring near the headlight with food wrap.　It is waterproof.

The mounting position of the cowl and stay is slightly misaligned, so adjustment is required.

Take a mold with aluminum foil and make a spacer.

I’m thinking of a light and soft spacer.

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. Finally, attach the headlight to the cowling.　Mask the cowling so that it is not damaged. It has a unique retro feel not found in recent motorcycles.　It’s like a living creature. Next, install the side blinkers.　This “Windjammer 2” had a side …

I noticed that the angle of the seat backrest was skewed. Now that the plating of the sissy bar is complete, it’s time to readjust the fittings and secure them to the seat base. I asked the contractor who requested the plating of the engine guard 10 years ago.　The plating was of very high quality. Weld marks are no longer visible. Sissy bar is like new. Fix the seat base.　Peel …

Above is the previous state.　The shape is different from “Purple Rain”, so I made it with a new iron plate. I cut the previous stay by myself, but the shape was not good.
