    Great bike Mike. Congrats on going over 500 subs, I finally did as well. Now on to 1000, a big deal for us home bike builders.

      Looks like you made the right move.. Naples is a beautiful area for riding year around and the sunsets are hard to beat. Looking forward to more of your videos.

    Is there anywhere I can see how you mounted the rear fender to work with the swingarm? Is it just mounted into the sissy bar and the rear section of the frame?

    • @drmikemerkt

      You can message me on Instagram and I can send over some photos. The front bottom part of the fender is mounted to the swingarm, then the rear is mounted to the sissy bar which then the sissy bar is mounted to the fender. I have a walk thru video of the bike on my channel here too that you can kinda see it

    Hello, I'm from Brazil, this handlebar is very beautiful, what are its measurements, opening, width and height?

      @@drmikemerkt I looked on their website, but the handlebars I saw there are different from yours, there's no way for you to measure yours and give me the dimensions, I'm from Brazil, there's no way I can buy from your country

      @@drmikemerkt The Triumph finned primary cover? It has no broken holes on it. I never put it on because you couldn't time the bike with it on . Presently have a cover that you can use a strobe with. It's in a box somewhere. When l find it l will hang it on a wall.Maybe you thought it was a finned Harley primary cover? I have had a finned S&S style air box on my Sportster for 25 years. I like the that style.
