If enough guys are interested, hopefully a new batch of ZL shirts may come out....please, oh please. I got a tee last time and was extremely happy with the look and quality.
As for Kawasaki, much less any Jap bike company, has just started jumping on the American " look what I got bandwagon".Harley understood that back in the eighties.The reality is that Harley caters to image and vanity. They do make great bikes, but not for what they cost. If you just want a plush cruise with torque, they are fine....if you want to go into debt.
I was at a convention in 2005 in Vegas where a former CEO of Harley said that they did a lot of research into how to sell more. Their studies found that people feel isolated and separate. Harley realized they could capitalize on that and made the Harley family. He said that all makers make decent bikes, but only Harley has learned how to tap into people's need to fit in. Look at how Saturn started, when they quit the dog and pony show...they failed. Coopers have clubs all across America.
The point to this, is that the Japanese motorcycle companies never really got into that. They made performance bikes at a lower cost. Harley has to recoup their ridiculous production costs by raping people on Harley "this and that". HD--hundreds of dollars every time you enter the store.
The best part is that more and more parts come from Japan and China. I think HD stands for " Hah, Dumb Americans".( add oriental dialect)
By the way...I just got my Eliminator coffee mug and beer stein with coasters from FURCHIN. Super fast shipping, and they ( the items) are better quality and style than I expected. He's got more... hintity, hint, hint ,hint. Why not help out a fellow forum member, instead of a huge company that makes enough already!?!

Have you ever looked at the prices of that harley stuff!!???? What a joke, a tee shirt not even as good as a cheep k-mart tee with a price tag of 32 dollars just because it has harley printed on it!! I dont think so!! If I felt the need to fit in I think I could do it for a lot less money than shelling out for a harley whatever and buying thier costumes!!!
