I read the same bs on the S&S web site that stated their engine in a motorcycle frame couldn't have a bigger tank than 6.6 gallons. Morgan doesn't have to comply with that particular US requirement because the M3W is manufactured/assembled in England. I had a huge amount of heartburn thinking the Morgan would only have a range of 150 or so miles. We use the M3W for summer tour instead of the bike now and have run 280 miles on a tank before refueling.
