This article is also the 10th.　This time is the production of sissy bar.　The “Purple Rain” motorcycle sissy bar has an orthodox shape.
I searched for something that can be attached to CM400, but I couldn’t find it, so I modified the current sissy bar and made it.

Builds replica of Prince’s “Purple Rain” motorcycle CM400 in Japan（No. 17）

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”（No. 17） ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ I’m having trouble making a sheet.　It’s my first initiative, and I’m making progress little by little while looking for ways to do it. Fix the carbon pipe backrest made last time to the seat base. Many layers of FRP are layered and hardened. Paste FRP on the back for reinforcement.　Originally, it would be better to make the backrest from an iron plate, but I made it from FRP because it does not fit two people and it has …

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”（No. 8） ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ Last time I made some mistakes, but I was able to paint the exterior in a beautiful purple color.　This time, I painted the inside of the cowling black. The cowling before painting is made of black resin. However, it will not be beautiful after 40 years, so I will paint it. I flattened the corners with putty.　There is a hole for a cigar socket, but since it is not used, it will be closed after painting. Apply a …

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”（No. 18） ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆   Well, the continuation of the motorcycle production. 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 …

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”（No. 13） ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ Last time I made a sissy bar and cowling stay.　I installed a spacer because there was a gap between the sissy bar stay and the main body. Fits without gaps.　The sissy bar fitting is now complete.　After that, just send it to the plating shop. Cut the excess part of the cowl stay to give a sharp impression. Install headlights.　Ported from the conventional cowling. The shape of the light stay differs depending on the type of “Windjammer”.　The “Windjammer 4” …

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 …
