When Harley Davidson came to York PA back in the 70's, I worked on the small bike line, when I first was hired on by American Machine & Foundry.

I'd love to to tell you I remember everything about it, but I was so out of place in a bid assed factory environment, all I really remember is running my ass off trying to get a footpeg threaded into a hole, that may or may not have weld splatter in it, as the bike comes by your 6' or so work area.
Then after I could do that, attach turn signal wires, then another small task.

One of the reasons I think HD failed a big customer base, as they simply said, Honda and others were farther ahead with their machines, so they chopped it off the offerings list.

I had graduated from a great vocational school in their weld shop, so I had skills all over the plant, and those lines closing down, did not affect me work wise anyway.
But I always felt HD should have done more to save those smaller motorcycles.
