Ben your not the only one and the board is cut in half
I have spent over a year figuring out the fairing and it's set up as it's a free floating one and finding the right bike she used as there is a few red herrings out there about the bike she used
I hope to get it looking good and riding as I will be heading onto the BSG Land Probe
I suppose I will have to show it or get a photo shoot on it
I am treating it like a big model kit on the fairing and using blue styrofoam and make a front fairing and tail fairing and I can tape string to it for the lines and mark it and start sanding
Front Mudguard cardboard so I can cut for both side and fibreglass’s it and then do same on the fairing.
Then I am going to use my motorbike skills for figuring out the frame for the front and a new set up for the rear that yvonne had issues with, so a friend is going to use old tubing to weld up and we are making points where it will be bolted to and I have a drapers near to me for lace & velcro
And then strip the bike down and restore it and get new bars, covers, plus new footpeg set up and a repainted black frame and it's new left muffler as the other is trash and I will be fitting new yamaha tank badges as you have to remember they had to keep all. As the bike was on hire from a dealer

Well not only am I a UK Batfan, i'm also a photographer by trade! I'd love to see the bike and take some photos of your creation for you!
Oh this just looks too good! You have a lot of work ahead of you. It sounds like you have a GREAT passion for the Batgirl cycle and cycles in general. This will be a labor of love for sure! You have to keep us updated on the project I am sure it will turn out FANTASTIC!
Very good start so far. But I'd like to see someone make a copy of Batgirls cycle from the pilot. I prefer that one to the one she ended up using in the series.
