Batgirl Cycle Reborn

[BatgirlSpanners]

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

[Randy]

Man, I'm looking forward to following this. God speed Sir.

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

[Randy]

Sorry, God speed Ma'am

Really looking forward to seeing this project unfold Nicola! Where about's in the UK are you based? I'd love to see the bike once it's done!

So am I Jeremy But stressed a bit for getting the fairing right as there is so many curves and rear end has popped up with a issue as that it goes under the seat

Ben I'm from Bristol but love to get it to the Ace Cafe

Only sad bit there is nowhere good to get good pictures and no uk batgirl

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

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

Who is the person sitting on the bike in the photo above? I've never seen that image before.

[BatgirlSpanners]

He is the Dad of a guy from Cafe Racer show, his dad ran a dealership in the 60's where they serviced the Batman Bikes and prob came from them

On a related topic, does anyone know what became of the ACTUAL Batgirl Cycle used in the Series?

[BatgirlSpanners]

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
