Batgirl Cycle Reborn
Hi Folks
Well the Title. Yes this is a true happening this year Batgirl Cycle will be getting reborn from scratch from pictures and info got from them only bit I don't have is how the lace was fitted, and guess the fairing mounting points and sort the rear wing out and guess what they used to make the fly screen rim
I have the rare beast which is very rare to see or find in the UK
The bike runs which is very good and one step from UK Legal and reg plate
Down side it's been unloved, make do repairs and by the looks it's been down on it's left side, broken knobs, handlebars need changing, headlamp plus more odd bits I will find. Once the restoration starts after the fairings are made which will be tricky with some many curves
So here she is unloved Barbara as I name all my bikes

Hi Randy
And I'm Nicola a UK Biker & Classic Bike lover Esp to the 2 heroes that got me in to riding and there bikes I hope to do both
With the Build I want to keep it to original spec apart from the Silly Mirror unless some one can send me a proper size so I can get it cut and glue a bolt to it as they did
Or it's a fiberglass upgrade on a mirror back

Re: Batgirl Cycle Reborn
I have one in my workshop but I have a good idea and waiting for some pictures from Yvonne for the rear and lace set up
But I have been thinking about a mod for it where they failed when It was done

Re: Batgirl Cycle Reborn
Thanks Antman67
and the both bikes match
I been finding parts for the bike as it's been unloved Just got to find a right side muffler so it looks good when it's done plus runs right
I'm looking forward to pay day and get my material to make the fairing

Re: Batgirl Cycle Reborn
Well Frank
This is what yvonne had to say on it
Where is the Batcycle these days?
"It was torn down and turned into a street bike after the show. E. Jeffries was the company that customized a Yamaha 180 into the Batcycle. After the show, they didn't need it anymore. No one knew in those days that memorabilia would be important."
So did it go back to the Dealer ? or did some one take it or is it hidden in a corner of a old prop store
