I like what you have so far. The wheels and engine look great. You've got my attention.

I have not had much time to put in on the Yamaha because of work. I thought some of you might get a kick out of these engine's we installed on this 1946 DC-3.

bennieblanco;

When I was about 14, I went for a ride in a DC-3. I got to go up and sit in the right hand seat of the cockpit. It was a real thrill for sure. Love the sound of those radial engines!

 

[bennieblanco]

I love the sound of the radial's too. You know the sad part is a guy who does turbine conversion's to these old planes bought up all the radial inventory and is scrapping alot of the parts and will not sell them.

I saw a pic of a bike built around one of those radial engines once. Should have snagged a copy.

This one?

 

[XSLeo]

Don't know. All I get is a little box with a red X.

 

[BigJimmyW13]

They show up on my screen

 

[blackbetty]

Bennie, what bars are you using?

Edit, NM I saw biltwells! Were you able to make those work on the stock trees?

 

[bennieblanco]

I'm using Biltwell Low Drag's but I'm running a sportster frontend so they mount up fine. I don't know if they would work with the stock triple's. Hoping to see my frame this week!

 

[AussieHard]

Motor looks great!

 

[jeepguy]

where do you work..... awesomeville

 

[bennieblanco]

It feels like it sometimes other times not so much. Just like any job I guess. I work at a Independent motorcycle shop as a Tech most the time and also do contract work for a company called AeroMetal that does restoration work on old airplanes, tanks and army vehicles. I got the front wheel for my bike finally it has been on backorder for 4 months. Frame should be here Friday. Waiting..
