This is a custom Harley-Davidson Street 500 that was done by Speed Merchants. There have been a lot of changes made to this bike.
Brandon of Speed Merchants led the project, and got rid of the forks, wheels, fenders, batter, subframe, controls, and the stock exhaust. Removing all that stuff saw the Street 500 lose around 22 kg, which is always a good thing.
The new forks were supplied by Huntington Beach H-D, and have been equipped with a Speed Merchant triple tree made for a 48 Sportster. Sun Aluminum rims were put in and a SM bracket was used to accomodate the Tokico brake caliper.
The rear subframe was completely re-designed, which freed up a lot of space underneath the seat. Brandon leveled the rear end and aligned it to the front end and the raised tank in order to give the Street 500 a new stance.
There is also a new rear fender made from aluminum, and a new seat covered in a Bates Leather tuck-and-roll cushion.
