I tried lowering the engine, but it was very heavy. I’m going to overhaul the upper part from now on.

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.

Install headlights.　Ported from the conventional cowling. The shape of the light stay differs depending on the type of “Windjammer”.　The “Windjammer 4” …
