Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Newbie - lots of questions.!?

I too changed out the stock wheel quickly but because the spokes at 2:00 & 10:00 blocked the view of the gauge. Some turn it 180° to solve that problem but that looks "off" to me with that one spoke directly upright. My Moto-Lita is a 3 spoke specifically made for our cars ( no need for a hub) with the spokes at 3:00 & 9:00. It's perfect.

Agree, love the look of the more traditional looking wheels, suit the car so much better. What is the diametre of the standard black wheel btw?

I was meaning to ask about the heated seats, I presume its just the heated element under your bum..do they get very toastie (uncomfortably hot) or just nice for those frosty morning drives? I also assume its just a single on/off, not several settings like in normal cars.?

Also, the chrome hoops (and any other chrome bits)..where are these avalible as an accessory, I can't find any listed, let alone prices etc..?

Fair warning for the Brooklands or the Motolita line. The stock steering wheel is padded for a reason. The vibrations coming through are amazing! I went out and bought bike gloves, both full and half, with padding on the palms and it has helped immensely with my Brooklands wheel.

FYI

Damn you! 3,900 miles and never noticed that with the wooden Moto-Lita vs. stock, lol. Now I probably will!

My work. Is done!

Darren, the std. wheel is 14", and to my eye, is too small, I went with a four spoke 15" Moto Lita, the only issue is that the tonneau won't fit unless you remove the wheel, which adds to roadside drama for the passers by (as if you need more of that). It's interesting that Michael brings up the vibes thru the wheel, I suppose that never registered b/c I actually like all the Sturm und Drang. And I never drive w/o my kangaroo gloves, anyways.

The heated seats are a must IMNSHO if you plan on driving in cooler weather, they get toasty but not uncomfortably so, and you need all the warmth you can get, you;re exposed to all the elements and the wind chill even on relatively warm sunny days in the autumn or early spring is really considerable.

Melvyn Rutter has many polished bits, reasonable too....so you can add things like roll hoops or taillights and the like. See if the aluminium engine turned dash panels are available, too, This is just me (LOL!), but I don't like the chrome engine either, so if you want the other bits, there's no reason to go full on chrome pack to get what you're after.

I also like the door pockets, they can't hold much, but any space is useful, and they look very nice.

I use a Kiess heated wastecoat. It keeps my front and back warm, has 3 heat settings and it's my torso that gets cold not my butt.

After yesterday's drive I realized why I never noticed it... my car is as smooth as butter! Had her up to 110 on 83 between Harrisburg PA and Baltimore and the wheel might as well have been in a Bently.
