Button - Looking forward to seeing the GoPro footage! There's definitely a shortage of good Morgan footage on Youtube.

Well, I'm living vicariously through other Mog owners til I actually get mine restored.  Also, considering the amount of work my rebuild requires, any photos or footage stand to serve both as reference and inspiration for me.

Some where I promised to re install Suplex Kit in My +8 Bitsa for a Run to Northern California. Did not get it done. Peter Mulberry 140 in/lb and thrust bearings. In any event I have lots of back road miles on the Suplex Kit. I should be able to make a comparison.

The latest spec suspension from the factory is very well resolved. I don't know what's changed but it's not hard and is compliant. I'm impressed with it. If I understand correctly there has been quite a bit of input from Peter Ballard and Dan White of Suplex. Certainly nice to know that the problems that plagued my suspension, poor quality and incorrect springs, have now been pretty much resolved. Worth noting that Morgan Aero Racing are now the exclusive distributors of the Suplex front suspension kit.

I am back from My Run in Northern California. As Tim H. says if the Hiway is smooth the ride is smooth. My experience with the "MULFAB" kit is just that. On poor roads it was "Bang" "Crash"! There was one day when I would have paid $1,000 US to have the "Suplex Kit" installed. Turns out I did this route "Lost Coast" in My DHC with the Suplex Kit installed a couple of years ago. Too long ago for an accurate comparison, but the all of the Morgans had problems on this day. I liked the "Mulfab Kit". On some of the high speed curvy road segments the handling was very, very good. I have driven the "Suplex Kit" on this "Curvy" road as well, but not at as high a speed while chasing My Friend in His 2005 Roadster. I expect the difference would not be a problem. But as I have never driven the Suplex Kit at high speed on curvy roads, do not know how it would of handled.

BTW when I say "High Speed" remember I am 86 years old and I was chasing a Driver who is over 60. At least "High Speed" for Me.
