<IMG alt="The sound of a radial engine is so distinct it used to clear out the garage when one flew overhead while Levey was still an aircraft mechanic." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopperuse.jpg" border=0></P>
<IMG alt="The Australian-based company Rotec provided its radial engine for the build and will be making another motor exclusively for JRL Cycles that is 5-inches slimmer and has mounts pre-fabricated so it should bolt right on." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopper_4use.jpg" border=0>
<IMG alt="What better place to debut a bike with an aircraft-inspired radial engine than one of the elite air shows in the country, the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Show." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopper_3use.jpg" border=0>
<IMG alt="Can you say torque? The Radial Chopper has an estimated 160 ft-lbs of it, almost twice the amount of a stock V-Twin." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopper_2use.jpg" border=0>

<IMG alt="By mounting the engine inline with the wheels instead of crossways, JRL was able to use the forward controls and kept modifications to a minimum." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FLucky-7use.jpg" border=0></P>
<IMG alt="John Levey's stint in aircraft mechanics school introduced him to the inner workings of the radial engine and stoked the fires of creativity necessary to complete the build." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2Foshkosh-hot-1.jpg" border=0>
<IMG alt="The only changes that had to be made on the Baker standard six-speed right-side drive were to offset the final-drive pulley, which moved the transmission over about a half-inch to the left." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopper_build_engine.jpg" border=0>

<IMG alt="Capable of hitting 50 mph in first gear and 100 mph in second, Levey jokingly said,'I don't ever think she'll see sixth gear.'" src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2FRadial-Chopper_build0.jpg" border=0>

<IMG alt="So how do you get an engine with a 39-inch circumfrence into a custom frame? For JRL Cycles, it meant three attempts at having the backbone bent and a little help from a welding torch." src="https://img1.daumcdn.net/relay/cafe/original/?fname=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.motorcycle-usa.com%2Fwelding-photo1.jpg" border=0>
