I can not verify this information but I found it to be very interesting today. Again, this is second hand information but I paid attention.
So I was talking to a trike guru who has had "one-on-one" phone conversations with Harley and Lehman engineers. How he knows them is a mystery but he did work/race with a professional team a few years back.
That is why the title "Second Hand Information". I claim no other knowledge.
He and I discussed the issues with the TG. The conversation was quickly taken over by him and I was very surprised to know that he knew everything item by line item that has been spoken about not only here but that other large HD forum about the TG and the issues at hand.
He told me this... Lehman installs the body on the TG for HD, this is true enough but.. now this is going to drop your jaw.. He said that Lehman did not play a role in the design of the trike body nor did they engineer anything on the TG. It was all designed by HD.
OK, i've heard the same thing, so far so good....All Lehman did was make it to their (HD) design and agree to install it. They have no agreement with HD to cover any warranty or redesign. This I have read about as well. It get's better.....
Then... He told me that his contact at HD said they were moving toward and I quote "Canning the TG idea after the 2010 models".
OK.. don't kill the messenger but I thought this to be very interesting indeed. Whether it happens or not is yet to be seen but from what he said to me it could be a real possibility.
Don't flame me out of existence now.. I'm just passing on gossip.
