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.

Then wrap it in a plastic sheet for gardening.

compact.

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.

Cut off the excess part of the stay.

Change the shape of the sissy bar.

From the next time, I will make a motorcycle sissy bar for “Purple Rain”.🔱(•‿•)
