I heard HD was going after S&S. I do not know the details. I hope it is not true though. Can somebody fill me in? I would hate to think HD would go after a great American company like S&S.

Regards

Mike

uhm...the gist of it I heard and I will admit I took it with a saltblock and just kinda back burnered it...was not that HD were going after S&S in a legal matter, but to do some combined interest dealer available full customs...

Well seeing as H-D out sources research an engineering to After market companies. You may have misunderstood how they were goin "after them"

Dyna, not everyone that rides a Buell started with a HD.

That being said the 124" S&S could be pretty cool in a tuber!

"going after them" can also at times mean "takeover, hostile or otherwise" in the business world.

There is a whole lot happening adjustments-wise in the background of the Harley world right now, both at the corporate level and at the dealership level.

As far as S&S Motors goes, who knows. S&S has had involvement with several companies beyond Harley.

I hesitate to respond to this because I don't want to represent S&S, but I don't think there is anything to worry about. Check out this press release.

Bummer,
I was hoping they'd move into the old Simplicity building near me on this side of the state, then hire me so I could walk to work.
Oh well.
