Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Upgrades complete!

Yes, and maybe some day I will opt to spend more money on this project, but for now what I have should be fine. There is little to no movement of the mudguard in my current setup and I highly doubt that the wheel and mudguard will come into contact with each other.

Plus, getting heat shields back on the exhaust is higher on my priority list and that is going to cost me $1250 plus to have them painted. So a a Works mudguard will have to wait even longer.

Thanks for that. The version I quoted they list as 8.25" although their metric conversion is suspect.

Will try for factory version on my new build and use your suggestion/mod as retro-fit if they can't accomodate.

Well, I have now done a couple miles in the upgraded Mog since we have been graced with a little unseasonably warm weather. I am very impressed at the transformation that my 3 wheeler has undergone. It now sounds amazing, feels more sure footed, has a little more pep in its step and gets up to the red-line much easier.

After taking it off the battery tender and getting it prepped to go around the block I noticed that it was low on gas. So I decided to pop up to the gas station and enjoy the warm evening. Starting it seemed to take a few extra churns and they sounded much lower pitch, like I was really turning over an engine of its size. When the engine fired to life it was a much deeper burble than before. Slightly louder, but much more bass, in a slow rhythmic rumble. Pulling out of the garage and onto the street I noticed that it wasn't as easy to maneuver due to the "comfort steering kit". Turning at low speed didn't feel as direct or sharp but once out on the road it felt much more stable and seemed to track over Michigan's potholed roads much better than before.

Getting up to speed felt a bit quicker and I found myself at 4000-5000 rpm without the engine feeling like it wanted the next gear. And, going back to the sound that it makes; when accelerating, even just up to 45-50 mph, it sounds like you are doing it faster. It is louder than stock for sure, but it is not too loud from the drivers seat. I was really shocked on how livable the exhaust volume was, it is not overpowering or detracting from any of the other senses. It really couldn't sound any better in my opinion and is how I would expect it to sound just from looking at it.

Soon enough I was at the gas station and filling up. The usual crowd had gathered with people taking photos and asking questions. After I was able to get away from the on-lookers I got back on the road and headed home. Over all I am very pleased with the Morgan now; no more clackety compensator, no groans from the rear sprocket, no more white knuckling it over potholes. The weather looks nice enough this coming Friday and I am planning on driving the Morgan into work, I will try and shoot some video that day for everyone curious about the sound that it makes and I will report back then!

Video has been captured... now the converting, editing and uploading.

The part of you coming through the parking structure is very James Bond!

Nice video Charlie👍

Thanks, the video is of me leaving work on my way home yesterday. Not very James Bond like I am afraid.

Here is a video taken in the same place, with the same camera with the stock set up.

Ok more like Patrick McGoohan in the opening of "The Prisoner"

For you youngsters that know not of what I speak.....
