Wrap the wiring near the headlight with food wrap. It is waterproof.

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.

Building Prince’s Purple Rain Motorcycle Replica (Honda CM400T Custom) in japan- No. 8

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 …

Building Prince’s Purple Rain Motorcycle Replica (Honda CM400T Custom) 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. 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 …

Building Prince’s Purple Rain Motorcycle Replica (Honda CM400T Custom) in japan- No. 6

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”(No. 6)※painting failed. ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ I painted on a sunny day. However, the painting failed. I failed, but I will introduce the process. I thought about various things to draw the symbol mark of Prince. I cut it out using the “cutter compass”. I made a symbol mark using masking tape. It was difficult to cut out the round part. The shape of this symbol is slightly different between the “Purple Rain” photo and the bike on display at Paisley Park. Maybe there are two. …
