Morris Magneto

There are few products on the HD aftermarket which became iconic but Morris Magnetos certainly are among them and have been the favoured choice of sporting riders since decades. Magneto ignitions have a long tradition with Milwaukee’s finest on both street and race motorcycles and in their heyday were considered as the performance ignition of choice. Admittedly, today with space age, programmable, digital multi-spark battery ignitions, magnetos appear somewhat outdated but if you are looking for a reliable, powerful and simple ignition system, a magneto is still an option. Besides, it looks as cool as cool can be.

Battery ignitions depend on a charging system, battery and coil to create a spark, with wires scattered all over your motorcycle. In contrast, a Morris Magneto’s charge comes directly from a self-contained spinning magnet - straightforward and effective. The W&W selection includes magnetos for a wide model range. Mag housings and, where applicable, the gear covers are machined from billet aluminum; standard finish is “as machined”, however, some versions are available polished. All kits come complete with necessary hardware and mounting instructions.

Owners of older Harleys can now have a magneto ignition that'll out-start as well as out-spark any other. The G5 features a recoil spring which stores energy during cranking. Once the bikes starts this system drops out and the timing automatically advances. The offset housing makes installation easy with no interference from pushrods and relay mount.

Morris Magneto Model H5 for Generator Style Crankcase
Like on the H-D factory XR race bikes, this magneto mounts to the generator port.

It features the fully automatic recoil spring for easy starting with kick or electric starter. Installation may require engine case modification. Magneto can be mounted in various positions.

Morris MRA Advance-Retard Kit
Morris MRA Advance-Retard Kit
The MRA is a revolutionary new device which aids starting by retarding the timing on fixed-position magnetos, helping to turn the infamous kick-backs and spit-backs into starts. When the cap-mounted lever is flipped, the points 'shift' 10 degrees, retarding your timing 20 degrees for starting. When the motor runs the lever is then locked in the advanced position by a rare-earth magnet. You'll love it! Fits clockwise turning Morris magnetos and other identically constructed magnetos like Joe Hunt, Fairbanks, etc. with cast housings.

Morris Sparky Tool
Morris Sparky Tool
With this smart tool you can quickly check if your magneto produces a spark or not. If you position the "Sparky" close to an ignition wire and the blue light comes on, the magneto produces a spark. Very helpful when you want to exclude the magneto as the cause of an ignition problem. This tool has been calibrated specifically for magnetos, but will work on just about anything that sparks.
