Default Experiences with Dax's Titan

Dax's new Titan kit seems to be the way to go but I've found no posts on it.

Can someone tell about the experiences they've had with it?

Thanx,

Ricland

Check out the pic forum. I haven't uploaded my pics yet but I named my bike Cronus (God of the titans lol). Cruiser has a Titan too.
Cronus was put together by the man himself. Duane rules beyond any vendor I have ever experienced.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my engine kit.
Currently a bit over 2,000 miles to date and nothing has gone wrong.
Cronus is my primary means of transportation. My truck has sat for almost three months now.
I'll try to get my pics loaded up today.

I'm a big guy, how does the titan pull bigger guys compared to the 70 cc? I'm looking to upgrade for something more reliable.

And you can fill up at any gas station, right?

Also, what about the rear rack mount? Do you prefer it too?

yup .89 cents to fill it up today lol. i like the rack engine because the motor is behind you and alot quiter however i think the frame mount looks nicer. i just got back from a ride and every time i ride i am really impressed how quite and smooth the motor is and it is so nice to get home and not have to open the tool box which i did every time i took my 2 stroke out. starts like a dream. about 90% of the time on the first pulll and the most i have ever had to pull the string is twice to get it started

Yes. Bring a tool kit in case your bike breaks down lol!
As long as you have the chain aligned right and your oil is the right level it will give you no problems. Before each ride check for tightness and for chain tension sometimes it may stretch. a 1/2 inch open end wrench is all you need to adjust tension.
And with all bike kits make sure you stop and give your engine a rest every 2 or so hours.
I weigh in at about 270. Colorado has some hills so Duane hooked me up with a 48 tooth. It definitely has more bottom end now which is what I desired compared to my 44 tooth. Top end is lowered but I don't ride fast anyway. At my 15 to 18 mph cruising speed my engine is churning at an RPM that gives me more power overall anyway and I pedal less now on them hills.
And I bought a plastic canteen at the army/navy store for just over a buck. It's the same material as my tank and it holds a full tank of 1/4 gallon of gas. I hang it on my handlebar. So now I don't worry about running out of gas. When I do I just fill her up with my canteen then I'm good for another 40 miles till I find a gas station. Then I fill up my canteen. It usually runs me a dollar.
The guys at the local station knows me already.

Large Filipino! Good to see you broder! I had a different name on another forum. danny3xd I think it was.

Man, you guys are making me want to move the Titan up the wish list. If I get one more job, (I have 3 now) I could afford half of the stuff I want right now. Then wouldn't have time for them. But thank God for busy.
