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.

The paint will peel off immediately, so scrape it off with a scraper. After removing all the paint, put putty on the dented part and scrape it off. Also fill in the dent where the Honda …

Since the plating of the side blinker had deteriorated, I decided to put a plating sheet on it. Lightly sand the whole thing.
