HARLEY-DAVIDSON AND UNION TO MEET
 
York, Pa. (February 5, 2007) - Harley-Davidson Motor Company today reported 
that company and union representatives will meet February 6 with a federal 
mediator. Union employees at the Company’s final assembly facilities in 
York, represented by International Association of Machinists (IAM) Local 
Lodge 175, went on strike February 2.
 
In other developments, Harley-Davidson reported that as a result of the 
strike in Pennsylvania, it expects to reduce production of engines and 
transmissions (powertrains) at the Company’s facility in Menomonee Falls, 
Wis. The Company also expects to reduce production of injection-molded 
components at its facilities in Tomahawk, Wis.
The Company anticipates that reduced powertrain production could result in 
temporary layoffs for up to 500 of its approximately 1,500 production and 
distribution employees in southeast Wisconsin. Reduced components production 
in Tomahawk could result in temporary layoffs for up to 240 of the 
approximately 360 production employees who work there. Layoffs at the 
Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk facilities could start as early as the week of 
February 12 for some employees. The Company has sought voluntary layoffs and 
will implement additional non-voluntary layoffs as needed.
The Company is disappointed by the decision of its union employees in York 
to strike and regrets the temporary impact the strike may have on some of 
its Wisconsin employees and its extensive supplier network.
 
Harley-Davidson’s facility in Menomonee Falls produces “Big Twin” 
powertrains – the largest of the Company’s engines and transmissions – used 
in motorcycles assembled in York and Kansas City. The Company’s facilities 
in Tomahawk produce windshields, fairings, saddlebags, Tour Paks and other 
components used on motorcycles assembled in York and Kansas City. Motorcycle 
sidecars are also produced in Tomahawk. During the strike, the Wisconsin 
facilities will stop building powertrains and injection-molded components 
for shipment to the assembly plant in York. The Company’s powertrain plant 
in Wauwatosa, Wis., is not expecting reduced production at this time.
