This time, we processed the stay of the sissy bar and adjusted the mounting.

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.

The stay I made this time is sharper than before. It’s also lightweight.

Drill holes for mounting.

The main body is also cut a little so that the stay does not interfere.

I managed to put it on.

Next, make a sheet.

Used tattered.

The backrest is made of FRP.

Use this board as a guide.( ╹◡╹)っ📏
