Thanks for the info Unc. I can now use my substantial investigative tools for a new thread I'm planning so stay tuned.

And Tommy, I feel for you guys. Since I'm on a roll, I will email the MoCo and demand they start making snowmobiles again. This time with a V-Twin. And apes and fishtails. Hmmmm......a Retro Snowmobile...I like it.

Guess I would have little use for one. But hey, for ya'll it would be awesome I would think. I keep reading about all the advice given for putting bikes in storage in northern climates and it just seemed wrong. I'm no marketing genius but why wouldn't HD make a sweet snowmobile? And if not the MoCo, what about any V-Twin manufacturer? They'd be sold as fast as they could make them initially. Any thoughts on this one?

I like the snomobile idea. Back in the late 70's up thar in Oregun, we used to run the snomobiles in the summer for Mudd-Runnin'

It sure did tear up stuff, but was fun as ever.

I seen 'em run them thangs at the drag races too! saw one do a 9 second quarter mile! But it weren't a Harley, so I say go for it! Use your influence and see if they can get them in production soon.

Well, the new 8.5" KW windshield is on order and I should have it by Friday.

As far as the snowmobile goes, I'm really curious as to why HD doesn't take a crack at that market. Think I'll start a new thread and see what the masses think......

I live about 50 miles from Arctic Cat and just a little from home of Polaris and I don't think either of them have been doing too great lately, selling sno-cats, so I don't honestly think H-D will enter such a soft market. Lots of people who used to make them are no longer around selling them. Massey-Fergeson, Sno-jet, Viking, Yamaha, to name a few.
I just put the Ultra into storage, now rain/snow mix and 30 degrees. Summer and Fall were way too short again this year. Seems like that has been happening ever since I got back into H-Ds. Is this a joke from Mother Nature or something?

Yeah It has rained here TWO DAYS STRAIGHT!!!!

I just wonder if it is ever gonna stop. Man it is crazy, settin' here watching that rain crap, and not riding. Next thing ya know the thermometer will drop below 70 or something wild like that.

It will be interesting to know how that new Klock Windshield works in the rain......

When I lived in Alaska they used to put wheels on them and ride during the summer. Kinda like the 21" narrow wheels on a Wide Glide. They didn't hold up to a lot of abuse though. Need wider and stronger tires on them.

My thoughts on HD making snowmobiles is that some will complain they are AMF all over again.

Although I am one who feels AMF was good for HD. I know that is not a popular opinion. I had one (76 Super Glide) and it was great. It is the reason I am still in love with the SG and was the catalyst for buying my 2004 SG. And if I remember right (I read it somewhere, I think AIM) AMF modernized the equipment and did the R&D for the EVO motor. Any way that is my thought on the subject, not that anyone cares.

I read the same thing you did about AMF Cowboy and I also had an AMF like millions of others. It was an 80 Tour Glide, rubber mount, 5 speed oh yeah! An ugly seat that was good for consecutive iron butts........butt then again my @$$ was several years younger. Now I can't find a good seat for nuthin..........Maybe we can get AMF on that.
