Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Hello from new M3W owner in CT, USA

congratulation's, there's plenty to fettle!

An excellent perspective to have! Helps to modulate much frustration otherwise resulting from erroneously thinking of it as something with properties resembling a regular transportation device.

A warm Sydney welcome to you 06032

Hello 06032.
Upgrades, oh yes. Ditch the S&S rectifier and swap out the battery.
Happy motoring.
John.

No need to ditch the CE rectifier unit since its mounting position was changed from the engine to the chassis with the 2014 changes. There are very few problems with them now and as 06032 has a 2017 car it should be OK. If the CE unit fails a Harley Davidson p/n 74540-01 is a better and cheaper option to replace it. Enjoy the M3W.

I agree about swapping the battery - the stock one is only acceptable if one does not have the drain of an immobiliser of if a conditioner is plugged in when it is not used for more than four or five days. Look up planenut's Alternative parts list for recommendations.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

My first upgrade is to template full length 'carpeted' side panels and replace the stock rubber mats with CocoMats. I'll use the 'Furstil' nylon material for moisture resistance and similar weave to wool. It's less bulky than standard cocomat so easier to secure between the tubes. The rubber backing will add stiffness and some noise cancellation. I did a similar upgrade to the tub on my sidecar and it makes for an elegant cabin.

Before I template the driver's side, I need to better position the pedals. I want them all the way forward. I suspect the throttle pedal is but that the clutch and break are cockeyed toward the seat. Need to learn how to do that first....access panel is removed!

After devouring threads herein, I'm very tempted to spring for the Supplex shocks and Stage 1 as winter projects. This baby will see a combination of riding single (60%), with a passenger and or luggage the balance on a mixed bag of roads. As I'm accustomed to Ohlins on bikes and adjustable suspensions in cages, this seems like a good place to start the individualization process.

You can try removing the baffles from the stock exhaust before you purchase the stage1 kit. I love the sound! A variety of S&S/Kuryakyn air filters to accompany that mod.

Not sure they still supply the Suplex shocks as there were problems with them. Other options are Spax adjustable, ATR and Ohlins, listed in increasing price.

Hello from France
I built custom Mshock dampers on my MTW last year, with the Michelin Scorcher 11 H-D tires instead of the Avon, the result is great :
