I also remember when they couldn't sell bikes (due to reliability issues) and they ran crying to Ronald Reagon who put a HUGE tariff on all the import bikes over 699cc in the early 80's. It was basically: 'Our bikes are not reliable and not selling! Lets put a tarrif on all import bikes over 699cc and crush our competition!' Like a guy who wanted a GS1100 suzuki or GPz 1100 kawasaki or Honda CB1100 or Yamaha XS 1100 would suddenly buy a FXE 1340 super glide with a 67 hp twin pulling 621 pounds plus the rider lumbering to a 14.43 second quarter mile😅🤣(cycle world). That was such a wussy thing to do. I know the evolution engine(s) were good and saved them, but besides not liking twins, I hated them for Penalizing other companies because they couldn't build something reliable. For selling the 'tough guy' image....they acted pretty wimpy.
