On my M3W travels through Norway I really wished there had been a heated steering wheel option. I'd rather have some feeling in my hands than toast my bum. I am in awe of your Norway travels! It's a shame there are no direct ferries to Norway from the North UK any more - I used to travel Newcastle to Bergen/Stavanger a lot and they were great. A heated steering wheel would be bliss... Did you try heated motorcycle gloves?

Did you try heated motorcycle gloves? Good idea - I'm Googling them now.

I have the Keis heated glove liners which go under your normal gloves, they are brilliant in cold weather as is the heated waistcoat.

A definite thumbs up for the Keis heated jacket. Quite a few M3W owners use them and mine has been invaluable for long distance touring and winter use.

I use the Keis Vest and Gloves for winter bike riding - excellent kit that you can either plug direct into a cigarette lighter socket or use a portable rechargeable battery pack.

Keis is great for winter riding, just check depending on the number of heated components that you have whether the required amps are available on your socket.

We drove our m3w down to Berrybrook today for an extended test drive in the Super 3. We have no intention of selling the m3w so an additional £52000 takes some justification. My wife had not seen one in the flesh and was instantly taken buy the Super 3. I drove for the first 10 miles or so down on the estuary road to Dawlish. By this point she was all for buying one. She took over the drive back, the adjustable pedals coming into play. She quickly found it more refined and more grown up than the m3w although we both missed the V twin sound (and yes i know there is a sports exhaust but that is not going to get anywhere near a stage one V twin sound).
The snag, at 5ft 8 she is not much sorter than the average male but found herself with no alternative but to have to look through the left hand corner of the flyscreen. Right side and straight on is fine above the screen. Her view to the left therefore is distorted.
With respect if its not an issue for you, that's great but it is for her. No screen is probably to severe and a booster cushion is not going to do. I read one comment that stated "who the heck designs a car where you have to stand on the seat to get in it" well we don't have to do that but her statement was "who designed this cr*% screen"
Has this design been created with the focus on filming where one is going rather than safely seeing where one is going? I acknowledge the restraints around a fixed seat construction. We are hoping that an aftermarket low screen similar to the old model can be worked. Any suggestions would be gratefully received (The taller Morgan screen will not suit if/when it becomes available.
Is the base/swab a loose fit?
I have edited this a couple of times because don`t want to come across as expecting one size to fit all, just a little disappointed as we rather like it.

Few reviews mentioned that the first screens distorted the view but they were supposed to fix this (according to the videos). it looks like it is not the case. That's too bad. On a positive note, I'm glad you got the "Just get it" update!

Hopefully the Super 3 will be bought by some incredibly clever individuals who will rectify Morgans failures as they did for the m3w.
