Where I live in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) doesn't usually get snow. However one very cold week our entire island froze over, and I have some very friendly neighbors. They saw me playing with the Morgan and asked if I'd like to use their Cul-De-Sac. I know there was a bit of engine lugging, and the throttle position was everywhere.
I hope this video plays! Also, for anyone who uses Jalopnik/Oppositelock I write about all the randomness of ownership for some of the past vehicles I've had. I can't say enough how much I love British car ownership, because the communities are the most insightful and helpful on the internet.

I'm still not sure how the front headlight cross bar is attached to the main upper frame rails, I do know that if there is a straight cross bar support between those two upper main front frame points, the stress from the upper A arms and shocks will greatly reduce the flexing and potential frame cracking.
The Liberty Ace has used this cross brace to their advantage!
So how hard would it be to add a cross bar and maybe use it for driving lights or emblems?
Do you mean on mine? Or on the Euro spec and older US ones? I can take some photos if you'd like.
No need for pictures.
Way back when the frames started to crack I suggested that adding a front cross bar to reinforce and reduce the front frame upper rails from flexing, no one has done it other than Morgan with the new style headlights for the US markets.
Even the Slingshot had to change up their headlights. They had two headlights on their outer wing fenders and had to add the two in the middle as the US law states that there cannot be more than an 8" gap between headlights on a motorcycle. And M3W's are still motorcycles or in some states now an Autocycle. The Autocycle classification allows for no endorsement need on your driver's license to drive it. It still requires a helmet if your state has a helmet law.
