Airtech Streamlining calls it a "Cutlass Cafe Seat".  I've seen them used a lot on flat track bikes, but they've been around a long time.  RR

Hey Tygrant, If you look on that list for the person that goes by "zooke", he is a wealth of info and parts for the T500. He (Eric Kalamaya)was a friend here in florida, now living in Va. From the sounds of the posts he ported that bikes head. I don't have his newest email address, but could probably get it from my Kaw triple buddy.

Rick, I have been stocking all the forums and i have seen his name come up, his new web site is sundial motorsports. i called him and spoke breifly with him. im planning on having him do the engine work, full port, head shave and bore.  running vm 34s and a set of swarbrick style jemco expansion chambers, should go good when im done. i am having it painted the sohc4 color sunrise orange. and blacking out the rest of it. sorry to say theres a new kid in the garage and the cb550 is getting jealous with good reason.

I know i fell in love with the titan and i finally got one a few weeks ago, i have been on an ebay spree buying parts and all kinds of good stuff and will soon have it down to the frame for powder coating and the rest of the fun stuff. this is the first 2 stroke bike i have owned and i am thrilled

Hi Tygrant,
 Eric learned that under racing conditions the titan frame wasn't very stable. He had me put the titan cradle in a RD400 frame and move the swingarm pivot forward a 1/2" in believe. Just saying, do some research about frame stiffening(your frame specifically) before you powdercoat it.
 Here is a pic of the coolest TITAN that belongs to a friend here locally. If the pic comes through! GS500 frame, TZ front end, hawk swingarm, Dymags and an Exhaust that I built.Rick

I think Eric built this engine, also.

now that is a  sweet bike, man I love that swing arm. I have see the way guys brace the frame, im not sure im going to push the bike enough to warrant the extra bracing. I also have to get the tail section figured out before I coat the frame as well. I dont want to be grinding and welding  then spray painting the small spots though im sure it will happen in a spot or two. can you make pipes to fit the stock titan chassis? if so shoot me a PM with pricing and other info, i would really appreciate it.
