Not Dynamic Quality, but I can imagine Static Quality being about morality. 
"Good is a noun."  If so, bad is a noun too.  That would be morality.

[Arlo]
"What is today conventionally called "morality" covers only one of these sets of
moral codes, the social-biological code. In a subject­object metaphysics this
single social-biological code is considered to be a minor, "subjective,"
physically non-existent part of the universe. But in the Metaphysics of Quality
all these sets of morals, plus another Dynamic morality, are not only real,
they are the whole thing." (LILA)

"Finally there's a fourth Dynamic morality which isn't a code. He supposed you
could call it a "code of Art" or something like that, but art is usually
thought of as such a frill that that title undercuts its importance. The
morality of the brujo in Zuni-that was Dynamic morality." (LILA)

"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of reality, the source of
all things, completely simple and always new. It was the moral force that had
motivated the brujo in Zuni." (LILA)

Both SQ and DQ are about morals. Quality is morality. There is static morality
(on the four levels) and Dynamic morality that is eternally outside static
patterns. Or, one could say "Dynamic Quality is a moral force".

I think what your arguing against is that Dynamic morality is not a hostage of
static social moral codes. Absolutely. Pirsig says, "Dynamic Quality is a
higher moral order than static scientific truth". But to say Dynamic Quality is
amoral misses, in my opinion, what Pirsig was trying to accomplish.

You often quote a passage I think is quite relevant.

While sustaining biological and social patterns
Kill all intellectual patterns.
Kill them completely
And then follow Dynamic Quality
And morality will be served.

It would make little sense to me to propose that following an amoral principle
serves morality. "Follow Dynamic Quality"... "Follow that vague sense of
'betterness'"... and because Quality is moral, "morality will be served".
