Thank you! Windscreen too... walking over to take a good look at it later today. The bike was largely used for a 150mile commute down to the bay area from here so the few miles are highway. Will see what she has as far as records and look for the original parts.

You Sir, are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you very much! Not riding yet, but this bike is falling in my lap in a way. Seems as though doing another "he'll never be able to do that again" so soon would be good for the headspace and rehab too. Last pic and this one are "New Priest Grade" on 120 headed to Yosemite, laps up new and down old priest grade are fantastic riding. A short hour and a half from you ;^) Grateful to say very close to where I am rehabbing and the bike is as well. Seems between, location, VFRs, cycling and Vespas we have a lot in common down in the bay area. Thanks again, Brent

Hi All, Had a 5th gen years back and eventually an 8th gen, needless to say, hooked. My 8th gen and I were obliterated by a guy who blew a red at 70 just shy of two years ago. I've limited use of my left arm as a result so quick shifter a must. I wouldn't be considering a 5th gen except that this one seems to be presenting itself to me. Anyone with experience with quick-shifter on 5th gen that can provide feedback? Appreciate some input on value. These are rare at best with mileage this low, 5,500 mi. Yes, that is correct. some damage to right side plastic from being set down low speed. Corbin seat, hard bags, ... I knew the owner (although I didn't know he had this) who passed recently and want to be sure to be fair to his widow. Any Morgan experts ;^) Last pic me on my old VFR Thanks in advance! Brent

I only ever hung the left bag on the bike. Luggage and brackets are all complete and keyed the same, one key. Very small scuff on left bag, tried to capture in pics. $1500 OBO. Located in San Jose CA. I can ship at your cost but would prefer pickup. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q9eoEDfHZK9Ngp8x9

OEM Bags never even hung on the bike except for left side bag. Left side bag hung and used once and has small scuff, I tried to capture in the pics. Complete set all keyed the same and 1 key included. $1500.00 plus shipping if shipped. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HiNyKuC1LfCnNKmU7 Bike is totaled and I'm grateful to be alive. You all get first shot at these. Cheers, Brent

I was very pleased with the ASV levers I installed. Well thought out and functional.

I unfortunately just became that guy too, bike (and I) got t-boned and my VFR totaled. I never even got a chance to mount two of the three bags.

I think I can have my friend who does the leather work get closer in color to the factory bronze, I can tune the laser a bit for more contrast and add intials etc. But really just messing around.

No peculiarities for me at all. Had the racing version Installed shortly after the bike was broken in and left it in "smart" mode so it adapts. Recently installed headers and flogged it hard in the hills so it would "learn" how I ride.

Removed mine on day one I think, right before I cleaned up the tail and installed the TBR tip. Then the rest of the mods ensued....

Yep, body positioning is probably the biggest variable. Doohan vs Marquez... I could definitely hang off my VFR more and do if I want to go faster.

Tire pressure, profile and rider weight are all variable on this and of course turn camber.. In the video above peg feelers are dragging as you can see by the debris and line as I am toward the end of the turn. Played with a graphics program and rotated a line to the axis of the bike and it is at 50°. I'm 150 lbs. The feelers are already part way worn down. That corner has positive camber too. I would guess right about 50° is when the feelers touch down. My tires are Dunlop Q3+ at 31 PSI there, I have since upped the pressure per my tuners advice.

Dang, now I need to get another bike ;^) I hear you on dragging the pegs, in the video you can see the result of dragging the peg "feelers" through that turn. I'll also say position is a big part of it as I could certainly hang off the bike more and use less tire. I'm having fun not trying to be the fastest guy out there and am comfortable at those angles on that road with these tires. The road is off to the right in the shot below, my son's face says it all. The cars coming up the grade on the left are the reason they paved the twisty section of joy to the right. It was just too steep and too many vehicles lost brakes and went of cliffs, I counted 50+ turns in 5.5miles. Go up the twisties and then coast down the steep section and do it over and over.

One has to know ones own limits and ride smart. To push a tire (sport or not) to the limit while not on a track it needs to be done on a safe road, good line of sight, rider knowledge/familiarity of the road a dry run or two to make sure there is no pea gravel wets spots or other hazards. This still doesn't rule out the risk of someone else crossing the line. I'm grateful to have a road like this near me and am able to push myself, my bike and my tires pretty hard for street riding. Enjoy the ride and be safe. P1010367.MP4

They are the only ones available I could find, made by member on here Duc2V4. Butt dyno and the lighter front end in 1st and 2nd tell me a bit more power. Definitely a bit throatier than stock.
