A good effort. A very nice WTF? fork brace. To say nothing of the stock forks. Surely, an advanced yet dated piece of machinery. Otherwise I ENVY EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND NOT EXISTING AT THAT TIME TO CREATE IT MYSELF.

Where did you find the details on this, seeing as Morgan's stickers are all over our bikes. 60 mph on 50cc?
