I picked up a bike for a customer from Dave a few weeks ago. I had no idea where I was going, boy was I in for a surprise. Not only was Dave a gentleman but it was a real pleasure to meet such a legend. He was generous and helpful, assisted with loading the bike and gave me a couple shirts. 10/10 great dude.

You can see in your face how much pride you have in those Magneto's. ❤️

[@ronetuley]

I bought a Morris M5 magneto for my 1978 Harley shovelhead. Dave and his team are a great to deal with. I recommend the Morris magneto to any Harley rider. I will be installing a Morris Magneto on my 2006 Electra Glide next. A#1 product. 👍

My dad had a mag on his Panhead and decided 1 year to get a new one. I'm running his old mag that's now over 40 years old and it never fails me.

[@naterockwell7735]

This guy is amazing! I like at the end of the video how he lights his cigar! Awesome advertising!

[@72nortoncommando]

Thanks for the dedication..by far the #1 Mag co. Period

[@Soulsmithing]

Found just what I was looking for to put on my '60 XLCH!

[@daveg1208]

To me, there is no better ignition system than a magneto. When a battery dies on a fuel injected, electronic ignition bike, chances are, the bike ain't going anywhere. All the new-fangled stuff has its place but I'm not a fan of it. Too many things can go wrong with electronic ignition systems and they are harder to work on. A good old fashioned mag, like you said, will get you home even without a battery. God bless you brother. P.S. Not to mention, if you forgetget your lighter, you can still light your cigar.

[@fmagalhaes1521]

@Dave G, Amen.. That is why I want a carbureted shovelhead with a kicker so I can put a magneto on it. :):)

[@SmithWhitey]

Great product for Sure! Like the old Virginia Slims cigarette add "You've come a long way Baby."

[@robertgrey6770]

[@LeDibeau]

Had no problems with the Morris on my 58' Panhead, always starts on first or second kick.

[@FUGYOO]

"May not have lights...". LOL 1975, I had to bunji a flash light to my handle bars once to get home through town, in this situation.

[@vector6977]

[@ProjectRedfoot]

[@coc7711]

DAVID SHAW, what type of racing magneto is the right for the pit bike?

[@johnhall3860]

I ran a Morris Magneto on my dirt late model stock car in the early 80’s. Everyone told me it was costing hp to turn it. Well I can tell you it made a lot more hp than it lost. When I first bought it I took it to my engine builder to test. When she ran that thing up to about 8500 rpm it looked like an old Frankenstein movie that thing had fire flying everywhere. You all take care and stay safe.I wish I could have afforded a dino pull back then to see the numbers to rub in their faces lol.I’m sorry that was a Vertex magneto.

[@Low-C-Laura]

Hope you’re well Desh

[@nicholasyoder]

I got a question. My magneto is brand new and I try to turn by hand like I do to test all my old ones, but this thing is pretty damn hard to turn and I really don’t know why. Never seen one do this before. Any thoughts? It’s a burkhardt tach drive style for 71-80 ironheads

[@christidmas3995]

I just love magnetos.So reliable and fuss free.

[@spocky-ky4by]

Une belle technologie, merci.

[@mike2696]

I’ve got a 2011 dyna fxdc(96cui) and brothers I’m saving for a Morris 😎😎😎

[@brianleabo6295]

Is their their a way to make a handle mag for testing

[@ballochdubh]

Thank god somebody with some sense in the industry, a change from all the overcharging [ excuse the pun ] bullshiters. Thank you.

[@jessicamosleyshewman9641]

Do you all do hunt mag rebuild?

[@eusebiohoskins1553]

Need one for a Honda xl100s 1979 flywheel

[@user-eq7et1tg2y]

[@leathers970]

[@frankceney942]

[@jayala1016]

[@Johnny-df4di]

[@velvetkilla9911]

Man I have 3 HD with magneto on them nobody getting mine. Thank Dave just had one service new coil.

[@tekknow8482]

Do you happen to have any information on a magneto containing a "shield"? Or have any knowledge of magneto "shield"?

[@FUGYOO]

Been running Morris mags on all my bikes since 1976. Sit down Hunt

[@tat2joeelliott]

[@0Sirk0]

[@larrycrow8431]

I can pull my plugs and hold plug and kick away I've had 9 volt give me more shock, bad magnet I'm thinking

[@user-lo1vc7mg1h]

Круто

[@davidcook1166]

The man speaks wisely.(satisfied customer)....walt...tulsa,ok

[@GorillaCookies]

Great product but the prices are well beyond what I expected. When a magneto costs more than the engine rebuild I have to wonder what is wrong, is the engine done right or is the magneto overpriced. Engine runs excellent with fantastic power. Don't know about the magneto because I just can't see $3400 for a magneto

[@waynemetevia7983]

$3,400?? I don't blame you.

[@paulhealey8221]

Morris sells quality stuff, I have bought items from them and talked to them on the phone. But shipping charges are way to high so you better get everything you need on the first order. Example, if you buy a small $12 part they will charge $16 to ship it! So a $12 part costs you $28 dollars!

[@velvetkilla9911]

I'm lose enough to pick mine up Morristown NJ is a nice little town.
