Brings back memories. Had a 500 twin at uni and my engineer flatmate used to design and make expansion chambers from scratch. The ones he was doing for the Titan had only reached the stage where the megas were done and I couldn't resist whacking them on and having a ride. Talk about LOUD. As for performance, the power band was super narrow but when she came on song, it'd lift the front wheel with no persuasion. Anyone who has every owned a Titan knows this is impossible normally as the very long wheelbase made wheelies very difficult. Anyway, the noise level pissed off a few people down the street and Mr Copper made a little visit..
