Titan In Frame With Shifter Kit Yes!!

You can mount a tank on the bars up front. Or you can remove the plastic and mount a half gallon or 3/4 large gallon metal tank to the top bar as well. Since it is gravity feed, as long as what ever tank you use is higher than the float of the carb, you will be ok. Soon I will be testing a closed loop style tank and carb. My concern with these tanks and carbs is that the ethanol in the fuel eats the seals and then the tank will no longer seal and feed fuel. But the factory says they are using a new material that can handle the ethanol. We shall see. Testing will be the proof I need. Thanks..

so just up to a E-15 rateing? do you think it is posable to make a dax titan "flex-fuel" or even E-100?

from what i read it just is three things; seals, air/fuel, and carb jet.
just a question.

Do you think that the kit could be adapted to fit on a worksman INB? I think you would have to cut the middle horizontal frame support. I don't think the engine would sit far enough forward either. I'd like to figure out how to motorize a worksman without using a 2 stroke engine. I've come up empty so far.

Great question. I would also like to run E-100 in a Titan 4 stroke !

Looks like there might be enough room in between the two top tubes for the gear box to poke through. You can only know by placing it there to see. As for E-100. I do not think the Titan engines were designed to run on such high levels of un fermented Alcohol. It may run on the stuff, but I can not say for sure. I have never tried it. Thanks. Enjoy the ride.

does the motor have to be mounted at the top/front of the frame for your 4 stroke shifter kit to work? i have a custom chopper with my 4 stroke mounted behind the pedals, hoping itll work for me..if so are they ready for shipping!!!!

If you have the width, you can mount it where ever you like. Chopper bikes have a ton of width and should be no problem mounting between the crank or anywhere you like. And yes.. They are in stock ready to ship. We have Titan orders in front of new orders.. So.. Please allow a few days before engine or kit ships. Even with that, you should have your Engine or kit in about a week. Thanks..Enjoy the ride..

Well you'd have to add roughly 15% more fuel to run E85, thats all. As long as all the rubber is ethanol safe.

DAX wont like me for this opinion but I think the location for this setup doesnt get it. I think my knees would hit something and the location has to affect the center of gravity of the bike. Plus moving parts so close to your clothes and about 10 other things I can think of that makes this setup just not right for me. The rear kit is the way to go.

You seem to be missing the point. It is a shifter, the rear mount is not.

Personally I think it is the best shifter configuration yet and intend to try it myself.
