Last April during the CVO tour the rep from the plant, who's in charge of the whole rebuild of the Softail plant to accomodate making the touring bikes under the same roof made a point of saying that they wanted and WOULD make the new York plant capable of building any current or future model of Harley-Davison motorcycle. What I hear locally is that when finished, the new plant will be able to match the current production of Softail and Touring bikes in less then one shift. So add Sporty, Dyna and V-Rod which total production is less then Softail and Touring and you're running two shifts. With three possible... I'd be sweating in K.C.
Just commenting on the production possibilities. Not commenting on the human factor or the political and what's right or wrong.
Ride Safe,
