O, Aargh!
The lovely chromed MBC's I found on the internet turn out to be backordered from Japan. Just like all the other MBC's.
No brakes and no bling. No bike. No fun.
At least it's almost winter when I wouldn't ride anyway.
The hunt continues, chrome or not, I'll be thrilled to find any Morphous MBC.

Bling! and Other Things
I hunted up some chrome master brake cylinders on the good old Internet. (Thanks, Al Gore!) Chrome instead of matte black sounds good to me. The same website had other chrome bling for my Morphous, like a nose cover and front fork covers, a swing arm cover and even more.
Now, I am not sure why anyone would invest in a chrome swing arm cover since there is no way in heck you can see the swing arm on a fully Tuppered Morph. But I suppose someone(s) must want one, or someone(s) ride their Morphs around naked. The bike being naked, not the riders! Tsk. Dirty minds. A Morph without it's full compliment of plastic is majorly ugly, I'm sorry to say.
I'm rather attracted to decorative bike lights too...I guess it becomes apparent I'm the daughter of a woman with questionable taste who loves bling. Sorry, Mom! But you're the only one I know who cheerfully buys and actually uses purses shaped like roosters that are covered in bugle beads, spangles and fringe.
Broke the front off tooth the other day, when I smile it shows. It's the first molar and doesn't hurt since the filling that is in the tooth is protecting the roots. So, do I leave a gap toothed smile and look like a really tough brawling biker chick or not? Um. Let me think....no. I am having a crown put on that snaggletooth. I do ride a scooter trike after all. I think as a type Morphous Scooter Trikers are more inclined toward rooster handbags than snaggleteeth. But I might be wrong. I often am.

Heartless Partless Parts People
The word currently is that the master brake cylinder for Morphous Wrex has been officialy back ordered.
In other words, tough luck sucker, you may never get your part.
Heartless. Unbeliveable. Intolerable.
As 2008 is the last year for the Morphous model to be imported (I honestly don't know whether they will still sell them in Japan) I don't know if I will ever see that darned brake cylinder. Isn't there some law that requires manufacturers to keep parts flowing for a certain number of years? There ought to be!
So, the next line of defense against ridelessness is to look on E-Bay. We do know there's a guy out there parting one out. He met up with a tree. Hopefully, the right hand mbc didn't get introduced too closely to said immovable object.
But the rain has settled in, yesterday being Halloween and so the warm rainy season start date arrived and with it the requisite rain. Warm rain season does not last long around here and before you know it, it's cold rain season, with black ice and snow and colder temps than I like to ride in. Of course, I like temps above 60. Ok, so I'm a weenie. I'll probably never be an IronMom.
