Titan twingle
My introduction here:You and your bike - Building something a bit different. Will run total loss ignition with points driven directly off the end of crank triggering my homebuilt points booster ignition box and Pertronix epoxy coils[dual firing].Cylinders are ported,CCI eliminated and oiling mods taken care of.I had a TM41mm ProSeries carb on the shelf,so using that up also.[1 into 2 intake manifold] I purchased an almost free Arctic Cat 500 pipe and will run a 2 into 1 exhaust.Finally found a chassis and work is under way with freshening everything up a bit. I'll have to figure out posting pictures here .

Certainly different. Looking forward to seeing this one.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: Titan twingle
Great day of wrenching. Motor is in, triples trees in,swingarm in. Sub assembled forks and rear brake, prepped ignition components. Waiting on fork seals and wheel bearings/seals. New PBI 520 alloy rear sprocket bolted up. I swear that is a couple pounds lighter than the 530 steel I replaced. I have never been on a forum/ message board were pictures are so painful to post. Just keeping that real!

Re: Titan twingle
I got a few more items taken care of: caliper rebuilt,battery box made and installed, seat pan design figured out and started fabricating it, finished up exhaust but may need to add a hanger for the silencer, forks installed,ignition components partially installed. And still a long ways to go,but progress none the less. I have aquired a GS rotor which is about 1.5 lbs lighter then my drilled stock disc. It may not be enough diameter to use. I'll look into that tomorrow.

Re: Titan twingle
GS rotor is on and oh so much lighter. Pipe is hung. Anybody care to volunteer posting a couple pictures for me? I am getting really anxious to get some fresh Avons and IRC tubes mounted up.Paying college tuition has been a bugger!

Re: Titan twingle
Lots of good work there, but I'm not convinced it'll go round a right hand bend with the exhaust where it is!

Re: Titan twingle
Most return roads are on the left! I am even more concerned about loading/unloading on the trailer. I'll know a lot more with tires mounted and the bike on the concrete. This is definitely not a roadracer.........Thanks to Suzukidave for posting pictures.
