Not a surprise. I wonder what other models have been shut down?
Maybe some of the guy's who bought one as an investment will finally see an increase in their net worth. hehe

harley-Davidson Production To Shut Down For 14 Weeks
Published by Cyril Huze July 23rd, 2009 in Builders, Editorial and Events.

harleyyork Harley-Davidson Sportster and V-Rod motorcycle final assembly operations and V-Rod motorcycle powertrain production in Kansas City, and production of Sportster motorcycle powertrains in Wauwatosa will be shut down for approximately 14 weeks in 2009, including the entire fourth quarter. The company anticipates that other production operations will be shut down for a total of approximately five weeks over the rest of 2009. Harley-Davidson plans production shutdowns and line rate adjustments at powertrain operations in Menomonee Falls and Wauwatosa, Wis., and at motorcycle assembly operations in York, Pa., and Kansas City, Mo.
 
I doubt we will see a significant increase in Harley sales over the last half of 09 into the first half of 10,and maybe deeper into 10 than this.
I have seen an increase in my biz from the general public in the past 2 months,but it has barely made the difference up from the drastic decrease I've experienced from the lack of new and remodeling construction.
There are still quite a few years left for the "fix".
