Hey i could Join that! Is it for bikes on the changeover? What happened with Harleys, surely they didn't stop making rigids on December 31st and start making swingers on Jan 1st????

Harley started the new model year in the fall of the previous year. '58 production was started long before the end of '57. They shut down for a few weeks in late summer and retooled so that when they came back to production it was the new year model bikes.
