Anyone know anything about these steering wheels? (aside from the fact that they have a slightly risqué name)
Are they junk?
Has anyone bought one and/or installed one on their Spider?

Re: Morningwood Steering Wheel
A little side story.... NY Mets (then Phillies) MLB player Lenny Dykstra's kid, Zack, played baseball one summer in the Cape Cod League, and my wife and I had the fun of watching him hit a grand slam in Harwich. (Is this going somewhere?) Well they print a free bulletin with brief player bios, etc, and he had been asked what his favorite pastime was outside of baseball. He wrote (and they published, unwittingly apparently) "playing the triangle in my rock band, Morning Wood".

Re: Morningwood Steering Wheel
Deep dish steering wheels have approximately 3 inch offset. The steering wheel will move that much closer to you. Being short I would have a problem reaching the peddles as I like to sit more upright for forward visibility.

Re: Morningwood Steering Wheel
This one looks like it only has about 1.6" of "dish" to it.
I think the exposed rivets look great, btw.
I'm tempted to get one, but I am afraid of it being poorly built and the pieces coming loose after a while.
