Finally I was able to attach the cowling to the main body.　It took time to adjust the stay side.

The cowling and stay are attached with 4 bolts.　It’s made of stainless steel so it won’t rust.

I did my best to install the painted cowling.　Prince’s symbol mark stands out.

Cut and sharpen the stays.

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 …
