  • When I was going for a ride I realized that my shifter was basically falling off! Figured it might be a good time to replace some seals as well since I had to take everything apart.

    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.

      I got a dresser seat in good shape with the grab rail and seat pogo out of a garbage 🗑️. Some people's trash as they say.

      @@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.

      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.

      @@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
