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 fixed the pipe like this.

It was cold, so I warmed up on the stove.

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

I was able to fix it.

Cut the acrylic plate.

Stick with glue.

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.
