Q: Why do you build mixed head engine?
A: Just because I can, Same answer Larry used to say.
Q: Do you work on stock bike?
A: I’ll work on anything. Talk to me about it.
Q: What’s the base price for custom build?
A: You tell me your budget range, I’ll work around that. Just remember you get what you pay for.
Q: How do we start and what’s the approach?
A: You tell me what’s in your mind, we’ll talk. Not to be arrogant or anything, but I’ll build it my way because it’s my creation, and I would like to be proud of it. You’ll own and ride what I put my heart and soul into. I hope you would understand this.
Q: Is your bike comfortable?
A: It depends on your vision of the bike. Sometime people envision their custom bike too unique just to stand out the crowd. So I’ll try to steer you away from that. But if you insist, I’ll build it for you. But no whining , crying and bitching accepted. When I build bike for myself, somehow comfortable, yet not too relaxing. I like riding in the city, tight corners, I want to stay focused riding it. And it must look cool by itself too.

Q: What is Morris magneto's impulse-coupler magneto?
A: Magneto contains circuit breaker( points) , rare-earth magnet ,camshaft ,small ignition coil in one unit. and It's driven by camshaft or calibrated gears. Since spark was
generated by magnetism, Faster it spins,More hotter spark it generates.
o magneto doesn't have an automatic advance mechanism, It's fixed
ignition timing at advance position.
Morris Magneto's impulse-coupler is a spring-loaded mechanism that holds magneto
camshaft just to retard ignition timing which helps starting dramatically at very slow rotation speed, and lets spring-wound cam shaft and magnet spins real fast to generate
hot spark.Once engine starts, this Impulse-coupler wouldn't engage at all.
This is well-engineered design.
Morris Magneto also offers manual retard/auto advance unit.
One quick tip for Impulse-coupler magneto
if you are running kicker only, don't kick like conventional magneto. This actually
make harder to start. It's more like pushing kicker thru rather than kicking.
