Love the bike and love the “what’s in the box, in the box, what’s in the box today” reference. It brought back flash backs of my youth 😂
Going into my second year on a ‘15 street 750.
So far: Removed the front eyeliner / installed an led top/bot split led light, turn-raised the stock bar, and went for VO2 intake and dynojet power vision at about 7500 miles.
Before spring 2021/15K: hoping to do progressive front fork springs, bigger breaks / SS lines, sis bar, enduro handlebar / Speedo relocate, straight-pipe cat-delete on stock exhaust (little extra sound and flow), adjustable +1” suspension in the rear to help with leaning / scraping instead of doing rear controls... I might even attempt to convert a street rod 750a rear end - dealership said it was the same frame between the two and theoretically would work!
Once the important and safety bits are squared away, deff looking at a full 2-1 exhaust (🧐love your routing over the trans btw!), and eventually swap in the custom ‘fun’ stuff - grips, pegs, mirrors, comfy seat, etc.
My build is deff suited to being a stealthy city-slammer that can also perform at its edge on a twisty mountain. Here in AZ were blessed with such scenery, but it’s all 30m outside the city. The air cooled engine is a lifesaver in the city, as opposed to sitting on a burning air-cooled bike; but it definitely lacks in top speed, and is kind of sketchy on a busy highway with the stock suspension and breaks. Riding on the highway is basically running it almost wide open at 90-100mph in light traffic. It’s just not that fun after a few mins...
Figured, might as well build on its strengths and make something that absolutely rips from 0-100 and can lean and corner harder than almost all of Harley’s other offerings. They say this bike is Harley’s bastard child.... but I kind of like that😉
Dad Life Things 3 - first off, I'm sorry to hear about your wife and I pray that she gets better and you and the family will be in my prayers as well. 2nd....that is a good looking bike. I just recently bought a 2015 Street 500 with only 666 miles on it, and I am looking to do a few mods myself as well. Thanks for the video and keep them coming. Greeting from Tennessee - USA
1Down5Up thanks man , she is doing well 🙌 . There’s lots of mods that you can do that are really simple mate 👍 that’s the best part . Enjoy your bike and thanks for the support 🙏🏻
Love what you did with your 500 st. Harley Davidson totally AWESOME!
Love your work and what you have done you have inspired me as I have just bought one yesterday.
Just purchased one on Saturday in Melbourne and going for me learners 🎉🤩🥇 mate yours looks absolutely stunning and tough! I’d really love to lower it like yours and raise the fuel tank and get the saddle seats 😭 at least to begin with. You are an artist well done mate and be safe and thank you. New subscriber definitely.
Very well done with the work you have done by yourself. I own 2013 XL 1200 loving it. Take care of yourself, all the best with everything mate.
Thats a mad setup! I like it! Been through the same situation with wife’s st4 bowel cancer, hang in their mate.
Loved the bike. Myself bought a 2016 with 8420km on the clock with exhaust and tail mod already done for 10k. Really happy so far with the run. I want to get the forward control and filter done. Dealership is very expensive. Thank you for the info.
The seat mod imo makes one of the biggest improvments in looks to the 500. I hadn't considered the 500 as a bike, I was all about the V-Star or the Vulcan S but man I'm enjoying these 500s the more I look at them.
Forty once you change the appearance of the 500 it starts to look way better than how they look brand new your right 👍
Dad Life Things 3 I’m taking your advice and am in talks with a couple blokes about a 2nd hand 500 now. Second hand is more in my price range anyway so it’s a win win in my eyes. Again, beautiful rig mate. Thoughts with the Mrs too mate fingers crossed for a positive outcome ✌️
Love the bars and mirrors, were they also from bad boy bobbers?
All the best to your missus, mate. Can't believe how good this Street 500 looks; brilliant and quite tasteful, compared to what some Harley mods can end up being 🤟
Thanks legend 👍 shes all clear now 👌
Awesome
Love it mate that front wheel and tank lift really set it off
Had the exact same opinion as you mate. Had done full stage 1 and tune, 2 inch tank lift, short shocks in black, forward controls and a tail tidy. Loved that bike. Mate let me take his
2016 breakout around the block when I was on my ps still, you quickly learn the 500 is not for you haha
Nicely done, have most of the same done as you, am about to embark on changing the rear end, self made(well by a mate) tail tidy, and have a nice set of front and rear indicators that i am hoping will look good...blacked out so hoping Adelaide cops will not give me a hard time(seem pretty bright from a distance, will check in sunlight tomorrow)
TKSp3c sounds good bud , send me a pic via Instagram once your done man would love to see the rear end done 👍
Love the video! Great work Mate
That’s a nice seat. Raising and bringing back the Tank makes the bike look better. Shame there isn’t a replacement tank - thinner and higher. Good work.
Totally agree. I have seen a few guys put a 48 tank on it 👍
Agree really nice
Cheers mate. Looking at getting one myself. The bike looks mad mate. !
Bike looks awesome man! 🔥
Was just wondering if the iron 883 front wheel fits straight onto the street 500?
Nice set up you have. Question for you in regards to the mirrors. did you have to replace the grips in order to install the extentions for the mirrors. I'm just curious as i'd like to do something similar with my bike however I think the 2020 model might be different. Lastly did you have to replace the breakline in order to install the drag bar?
Looking good great mods the 2" tank lift makes the world 🌎 of difference.
Good job mate, You also got some experience in customising this type of bike. Now ya just gotta get it to do the TON. When you have that power then its good for the highway ie passing road trains etc. And it will give you room to gear it to where you want the power. Enjoy ya ride,
Your lil girl gunna love that when she gets older.
That's absolutely right and I agree with you 100%, Bro; screw what anybody else tho is and personalise your Bike the way you want to... Well done! And, it sounds sweet! Peace, Stiletto :-)
Hope the misso pulls through bro, mint bike.
thanks Geoff she is doing really well!!
Maan!!! Awesome Street 500 upgrades I’ve been wanting one for the longest now and they’re hard to find here in WI. and we’re like the HD state lol
Bike looks sick bro 🤘 sorry too hear bout ya Mrs too. God bless
Looks great with the speedo moved. I will be doing that on my wifes 500
Dude that sounds pretty good for a street 500 with that exhaust. Now I’m tempted to get one and whack on a exhaust mod
Just bought my 2018 HD street 500 stock. First things I can really think of doing to it is getting 4” exhaust and probably a fender delete.
With your FP3 and airfilter and exhaust upgrades, how much power did you notice the bike increased by?
Hi , I’m buying a 500 this week and wanted to make some changes as you have. Can you please provide more details on where I can get the exact. seat and tail tidy? Thanks
Hey mate
Just wanting to know what it's like with the progressive shock's riding wise, (comfort, cornering etc..)
Excellent info. I've a Street 500 trike and loving it. Can you tell me how to get more speed out of it in 5th and 6th gears. Also is it possible to fit a fuel gauge?
Was the tail tidy the same as the v rods? The ones on eBay for street are $320 but there is a v rod one for $80.
I think you spent your money well to get exactly what you want. I payed more for my 2016 Street with 4,000km on the clock. So far - fat rear tyre, drag bars and new grips, new mirrors, Tab muffler (had a screaming eagle on it which was crap) and have just ordered an LED headlight - so far $1,500 on modifications and it looks 100% better. Oh - I removed that horrible fairing as well.
This looks great 👍
Hi, I am think about the same eahaust set up. But I am wondering if you are able to use the dip stick like normally with the pipe above it?
Hi there.
Just wondering if the iron 883 wheel bolted straight on? And could you not fit the original fender back on?
Super clean street!!
Hey,i really appreciate the video. Can you send the link for the PINE pipe,the intake filter, and the front wheel ? Thank you very much
Sweet bike. Where’d you buy the front indicators?
Hi champ. Love how you set up the bike. I have the same one. Just wondering got myself the saddlemen seat just like yours. Did you have trouble fitting it. Mines a pain in the ass" once i slipped the front tab in the back is so high. Seems like the front hole is not Wright. & the rear doesn't sit flush with the rear guard.
Health to wife my dude! And your bike bad ass.
I bought my 2019 Street 500 from Harley Mildura, brand new, registered, on the road, no more to for $8,990
Looking at a street 500 as I have atleast 1 year wait till fully licensed, first mod I'm doing is 300 rear tire conversion haha
Dad Life Thing 3, say, how comfortable is the Saddlemen Solo seat? Have you done long rides with it? Thank you.
Looks mint mate, I’m about to buy one until I finish my U model build.
Just out of curiosity what’s your opinion on spending this money on the street if you ever want to move up?
How comfortable are the straight bars when riding?
How did you get the saddleman seat to fit with the tank lift.
Hey Mate, I just wondering where were you able to get the tank lift kits, I can't get hold of it. Thank you for showing around really helps set a tentative budget.
Rajdeep Singh I bought the “tank lift/bar risers and exhaust all of the same person . Hit up “Luke shifty daye “ on facebook . And thank you glad it helped in someway. 👍
@@dadlifethings3832 thanks alot mate, will get on to it. 👍👍👍
Would torque cones for a newer model sportster work on these
Looks great. Harley should start creating some street variations like this. They neglect the smaller bike market. Not everybody wants a 1000cc beast.
How long did the forward controls take to
Get to aus
You got a link for that forward controls? I'm thinking of putting one on my '19 street rod 750. Cheers mate
I might have missed it but what/who did you get the tank lift from?
Shit yea nice mean looking bike mate hope to do mine up similar
Hey mate, love the look you've done a great job
Wondering how difficult the Speedo relocation was?
Also the exhaust does having the tuner solve the pressure loss if any?
Cheers
Jack Griffin really simple relocation mate . Bracket bolts on behind coil cover . Speedo is just in with two bolts by memory “no need to pull wires out” . Just need to cut the cable ties to release some slack . Once you’ve moved it to the bracket you just need to re cable tie the wires and your done .
Yes tuner is a must once you’ve got an exhaust and air cleaner 👍
@@dadlifethings3832 thanks for the response mate, I'll have to give that a go and look into a tuner 👌
How do you find the saddleman seat compared to the stock?
It’s not as comfy as the standard one on long rides but you get used to it and , I feel like you sit more better on it . Ive kept the original so if I need to throw the wife on its a quick change over. Is it worth it ? Yeah I rekon 👍
Hi mate thanks fir the good video. Do u get these parts from Harley or eBay ? Harley must cost arm and a leg.
It looks great. I wish for your sake you had done this on a 750. Even after all that spend it’s still not where the 750 is power wise……. The 750 is the one to spend the money on
Nice looking bike sir . I got mine few days ago Where did you get them side handlebar mirrors from . Would you be able to share link
Thanks mate , enjoy your bike 👍. Just have a look on eBay or google.
“Street 500 bar end mirrors “ lots of different shapes and sizes to choose from
Could you please may be post the list along with links if any for all the parts.
Hey mate I’m loving the bike!
I was wondering if I heard correctly about the tail tidy price of $80? If so where did you get it from and did you install it yourself?
Cheers
Aaron dev hey mate yeah $80 but that was second hand. And my mechanic put in for me . I tend to stay away from electrics unless it’s plug and play 😂
Very cool bike it's a one off just how it should be ,,,,
Hey man will it wreck your bike if u don’t get that tune after getting a new exhaust
Hey where did you get the mirrors?
Where u get tail tidy from mate for street 500
Mate I’m close to buying a 2016 second hand 1200km for around 7k...
Just wondering if you think not having ABS would be a deal breaker as newer ones do? Cheers mate thanks for the vid
All I can say is If you get the non abs like mine, just make sure it’s had the brake recall done through Harley or take it there yourself. 👍 brakes would randomly lock up on people including twice to me which nearly caused two accidents. But once Harley realised the fault they did s worldwide recall 👍
How you doing mate its robo here I just brought a 2015 500cc Harley Davidson it has forward control arms & ape hangers but would like to do 90% of what you have done seat first as I'm 6"4 & 120 klgrms should put me rite back in the seat will throwe you a couple of dollars as the read & riting isn't real good & would also like to know more about pipes& fuel chip & k&n intake while I'm doing the work is it rite to ask a few question s here & their that is one bike in like 50 I have seen your 1 just stands out cheers heaps mate will pay for the list if need be than anyway mate sick bike
What mirrors did you put in the bike??
Where’s the rear tyre from and what’s the size 170/ ??
How do I reolace the spedo sensor?
Hey love what you’ve done to you street.. I’m running a street750 here in Bombay, India. Would you have links to the bracket you’ve used to shift the speedo near the engine ? Would be awesome if you could share that here. Thanks mate.
Thanks mate, sorry the bracket I got was from a company that was terrible to deal with and they don’t deserve any more buisness lol.
Just do a google search you will find something 👍
@@dadlifethings3832 by any chance was the compnay you dealt with called zero design ?
Nah mate that’s not it 👍
Fuel tank riser? Where do i buy?
How did you do tank lift?
Hey bro nice bike . Where in Sydney Australia can i take my street 500 to install the mods
Not sure where to go in Sydney mate sorry.
Perfect mods...
Cheers 👍
Hey Bro what is the rear taillights & number plate called?
Will a sporty rear wheel be a direct fit as well as the front?
Unfortunately not that I’m aware of. Otherwise I’d have it too 😀
Is iron wheel plug and play?
What is your rear tire size ?
Where did you get the exhaust from I wanna do mine like that
Look up “ Luke shifty daye” on facebook 👍
Damn brother so sorry to hear the (bad) news r/e the misso... Sending good vibes your way man.
Love the bike! I agree with what you're saying about the hate from others saying, "Why build up a 500? Why waste all that splash on a 500..." blah blah..! Mate, I've found the biggest haters/wankers don't even have a bloody bike (or car - depending on whatever they're making noise about ffs)
I'm not sure what state you're in but are these bikes learner legal (I'm in Victoria) as I've gotta start my bike licence from the beginning again dammit... I left it way too long after getting my P's over 20+ years ago...
I'm figuring it might be alot less headache if I get a 500 to ride and wait for the full licence before throwing a leg over the V-ROD...
I'm really digging what you've done so far, I like the way you're going with it! I wonder if a built high comp motor with massive race cams (or a stealthy turbo set-up!!) would be viable...
What's next on the list, man?
Cheers,
Crackles.
Yeah mate I was the same, left my license way too late always been on dirt bikes though. I’m in Vic too 👍
ive searched the comments section…… where did you buy the exhaust mate….. lodge speedworks or Luke shifty day ??? who should i buy from???
Shifty 👍
Hi mate did the front wheel fit straight on without modifying it ? Cheers
John Roberts yes 100% . Doing a install video soon for it 👍
Hey mate great vid, I'm looking at picking one up in really soon.. Where would you suggest for someone to get this type of work/customisation done here in Melbourne Australia? Obviously don't want to go through Harley directly and I haven't been blessed with technical hands to do it myself. Thanks in advance, new subscriber here ;)
Hey bud, your best option is to buy the parts you need yourself to save the $$ and if you can’t install them yourself get them fitted. Where abouts are you from in melb? I’m in southeast so can recommend my bike mechanic if needed 👍
@@dadlifethings3832 Yeah that would be great. I'm in the city, happy to travel towards that way.
Too easy.

Hello, I am looking for urgent help. To install the rear tire you made the modification? I'm installing a Michelin 170/80-15 Commander 2 tire and it's so tight that it hits the battery case. The mechanic tells me that there is no way to install that tire, it will damage the fender and the battery case. Before doing that I had looked for references in different places and look, they installed tires that big without problems. Now I am frustrated because I cannot ride my motorcycle, I will have to mount the original tires and I have already paid for the new tires, in addition to changing the suspension for an 11” Progressive 412 Heavy Duty American Can you please help me!
I want to continue with my project and not go back to the original wheels.
Please help. I can't use my motorcycle. I already removed the 11” shock absorbers so that it has more space but the tire is still very tight with the risk of hitting the battery casing. The mechanic tells me that the wheel cannot be moved further back because the belt could become so tight that it would break easily. I'm beginning to believe that you have no experience with this model and in my area there are no references of anyone else who has done this like you. I will thank you very much if you answer me, greetings.
Can I use the car to directly connect to the car to start a fire? Because the battery seems to be very low。
I don’t think it’s a good idea you jump start a bike with a car .
Buy a trickle charger or new battery 👍
Looks awesome mate 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Really sorry to hear about your wife. Sending you guys prays.
The 500 is a great bike. I have one too. I’ve changed the exhaust, mirrors, breaks but I love your seat and that’s up next for mine I think. 👀🤩 those pipes!!! 💖 I want to keep my bike forever it’s a sexy piece of iron lol. It’s enough power for me and it’s super comfortable and easy to ride. I’m 5’4 small girl and can flat foot it no problem. It’s a heavy bike sure but it’s low and agile around the streets. I love it. Down side for me, I don’t like how I keep popping it into neutral shifting from 1-2. I did that about 3 times today. I was thinking about getting a gear indicator on it to help with that.
I had this problem too, but I learned a trick that made a world of difference. When you shift into second, hold your foot under the shifter until you let out the clutch. No more accidental neutrals
As far as the mirrors, I just bought some extentions to use with the stock mirrors. If I keep the bike, I want to switch to long stem mirrors and keep the extentions
Love this bike man. What bars have you got fitted on this beast
Cheers man , just “ Drag bars” with a slight bend 👍
I'm looking to get a bike soon. Just got my learner's come across your vids and now sold on the street 500. Watch your vids atleast 4-6 times a day. Thanks for the uploads man keep em coming dude. 🙌
@@MrCazz211 awesome man thanks for the support 🙏🏻. It’s a good fun bike 👌 you’ll love it 👍
Hey mate, who did the custom exhaust for you?

I just bought one exactly same year and model only in the matte black and I paid 6600 with 17 thousand on the clock! fuck .. haha but its had quaite a bit of mod done to it too.. its looks and sounds great mate.. fuck what people think..

Not that hard mate, but just make sure you have next to none fuel left before install 👌
