Bennie's XS Build

[azman857]

Hey bennie....Are those Curtiss-Wrights or Prat&Whitneys going on that DC-3? I'm guessing C-W's R-1820s.

Pratt & Whitney

Don't get me started on aircraft engines....Love the sound of a radial engine.

My tail arrived today after 4mths waiting and having emails ignored by Robert @ Elswick, and it was missing a part also..

Can't wait till mine look something like yours!!!

What is that sticking out the left hand side?????

 

[bennieblanco]

[AussieHard]

Who made the frame and what are the Rise, Rake, Stretch, Ride height????

 

[bennieblanco]

Ardcore made the frame. It was worth the weight looks great.

Really lovin yer work so far Very tidy! Envy is a word that comes to mind.. lol
Would really like some details on the sporty front end conversion.. sporty model, year etc.. What mods did you need to perform to marry it to the xs any tidbits of knowledge you may be kind enough to share I would be extremely appreciative of!
Keep up the outstanding work..

subsribed!

Its a 1995 FXDL front end. 2002 dyna front rim and a 1997 front brake caliper. The neck on the frame has 1" bearing cups so any Harley front end will mount up fine.

Outside in the sun. Nevermind I guess my computer does not like that pic and will not let me post it.

Probably to large. In the window where you browse your pics, at the bottom it tells how big pics can be. Resize your pic to those dimensions and it should upload.

After a long and busy summer of working and no time for my own project's. The rain is strangely a welcome sight here in the Pacific Northwest. I got my seat mounted and fuel cap welded in.
