Harley-Davidson Street 500 Custom Street Tracker

Harley-Davidson Street 500 Custom Street Tracker

The Speed Merchant Thresher

This is The Speed Merchant Thresher and, as far as we know, it is the first ever custom Harley-Davidson Street that wasn't created by the factory themselves. We previously posted the Harley-Davidson Steeet 750 dirt track race bikes.

H-D gave the bike to The Speed Merchant crew to build for the huge Californian custom show, Born Free. 

This started out as the 500cc version of H-D's new entry-level, liquid-cooled street bike.
