OK so here is the progress for TITAN v2.0 ! This covers about 2-3 days of werk
The blank canvas with updated frame, suspension and disc break

It is hard putting in an engine by yourself, my back is destroyed I recommend having a friend help with this but after atleast a 6 pack I was geared up to put it in(that's what she said).

after quite the battle the motor is in

I'm having trouble uploading more photos so I'm going to post this and restart and continue on a second post..

hi fellas I hope this finds everyone well. so of course my last day of dialing in before taking the TITAN on a test ride took way longer that anticipated, but I took my time and did it the right way. I finally got to take TITAN 2.0 on 2 test rides. after the first run we made a few adjustments and too her out again on a longer ride on a mission to get FRESH GAS. the nearest station was closed so I had to go further down the road hoping I wasn't going to run out of gas.. she did great!! riding better than ever with tons of 2T power, which is like the difference between tube power in guitar amps vs solid state. I had a smile the whole time, every time I hit the gas she gave the response of YEAH FASTER FASTER!! There's a nice flat strait on the way home so I got to dig in to her a little bit and get through the gears. loads of fun. it still needs a few things but here she is at the moment, hope y'all enjoy (I know after 4 days of working on the ground my back is not so happy, hopefully I get a lift for Christmas..
Image
oh and my neighbors didn't know what to think about the 2T smoke haha
Image
the last thing we did was my m8 Rom helped me build a bracket to mount the TACH properly

thanks for all the help along the way, I finally have a nice running TITAN that feels quick and agile, can't wait to get some more rides in, gotta bundle up a bit tho I froze my butt of on the way to get gas, and yes I'm a spoiled Los Angelino transplant from truly cold Chicago.
