Harley-Davidson moves Assembly of Trikes In-House
Due to economical hardship, Harley-Davidson will begin performing final assembly on its trikes beginning with the 2011 model year.
The Tri Glide and Street Glide trikes will start being assembled this summer at the York Vehicle Operations facility in York, Pa. Harley said final assembly of these trikes has been performed under a supplier agreement with Lehman Trikes, Inc. in Spearfish, S.D.; Lehman was listed as “strategic supplier” to The Motor Company since 2008.
“The restructuring of Harley-Davidson’s York operations provides the opportunity for us to build trikes in-house and streamline trike assembly and distribution,” said Julie Chichlowski, Harley-Davidson’s Director of P&A Trike Platform Parts and Accessories. “Lehman Trikes has been a responsive, high-quality supplier to Harley-Davidson for trikes and it has been a pleasure to work with them.”
