Hello everyone. I found this forum while searching the web for 3W information. Hopefully you all will welcome me in.
My name is Jeff Bailey and I am the engineering manager for S&S Cycle and was the Project lead for the X-Wedge engine. Hopefully, I can contribute and answer your questions when possible.
As some of you who have driven the 3W, it is a great experience and the power spot on. There is more to the story than what the numbers may make you think. The X-Wedge engines have tremendous torque at low rpms, which match well with the vehicle.
There is no detuning going on. This video shows me driving a preproduction car S&S has here in the states. Spinning the tire is not a challenge.
As far as performance parts go, S&S offers many performance parts for the X-Wedge engine. There is no reason they couldn't be used on the 3W. To those of you who have sent questions into S&S about performance parts, I apologize for not responding, but the discussion of how performance work will be done between Morgan and S&S is still being worked out and hasn't been our highest priority. Morgan is rightly focusing on getting production going at this time and S&S is working on the certification for US.
Again, I will answer any questions I feel I can and I hope all of you will have a chance to drive a 3 wheeler soon if you haven't already.
