V of the Company&#146;s By-Laws, as amended, requires that the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted or required by Sections 180.0850 to 180.0859, inclusive, of the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law, including any amendments thereto (but in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits or requires the corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than prior to such amendment), indemnify its
Directors and Officers against any and all liabilities, and pay or reimburse any and all
properly documented reasonable expenses, incurred thereby in any proceedings to which any
such Director or Officer is a party because he or she is or was a Director or Officer of
the Company. The Company shall also indemnify an employee who is not a Director or
Officer, to the extent that the employee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of a proceeding, for all expenses incurred in the proceeding if the employee was a
party because he or she is or was an employee of the Company. The rights to
indemnification granted under the By-Laws, as amended, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to indemnification against liabilities or the allowance of expenses which a
Director, Officer or employee (or such other person) may be entitled under any written
agreement, Board resolution, vote of shareholders of the Company, the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law or otherwise. The Company may, but shall not be required to, supplement
the foregoing rights to indemnification against liabilities and allowance of expenses
under this paragraph by the purchase of insurance on behalf of any one or more of such
Directors, Officers or employees, whether or not the Company would be required or
permitted to indemnify or allow expenses to such Director, Officer or employee. All
capitalized terms used in this paragraph and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 180.0850 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law. </FONT></P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of           1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the           Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant           has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission           such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
          therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
          or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
          successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter           has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate           jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public           policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of           such issue.  </FONT></P>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
The
Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") provides that, in
addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), or the Human Resources Committee of
the Board (the "Committee"), the members of the Committee and the Board shall be
indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party
by reason of any action taken or failure to act in connection with the Plan or any award
under the Plan and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such
settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except a
judgment based upon a finding of bad faith; provided that upon the institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding a Committee or Board member shall, in writing, give the Company
notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same
before such Committee or Board member undertakes to handle and defend it on such
member's own behalf.
Article
V of the Company's By-Laws, as amended, requires that the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted or required by Sections 180.0850 to 180.0859, inclusive, of the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law, including any amendments thereto (but in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits or requires the corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than prior to such amendment), indemnify its
Directors and Officers against any and all liabilities, and pay or reimburse any and all
properly documented reasonable expenses, incurred thereby in any proceedings to which any
such Director or Officer is a party because he or she is or was a Director or Officer of
the Company. The Company shall also indemnify an employee who is not a Director or
Officer, to the extent that the employee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of a proceeding, for all expenses incurred in the proceeding if the employee was a
party because he or she is or was an employee of the Company. The rights to
indemnification granted under the By-Laws, as amended, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to indemnification against liabilities or the allowance of expenses which a
Director, Officer or employee (or such other person) may be entitled under any written
agreement, Board resolution, vote of shareholders of the Company, the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law or otherwise. The Company may, but shall not be required to, supplement
the foregoing rights to indemnification against liabilities and allowance of expenses
under this paragraph by the purchase of insurance on behalf of any one or more of such
Directors, Officers or employees, whether or not the Company would be required or
permitted to indemnify or allow expenses to such Director, Officer or employee. All
capitalized terms used in this paragraph and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 180.0850 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.
The
indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the Company's
By-Laws, as amended, is not exclusive of any other rights to which a Director or Officer of the Company
may be entitled. The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the
circumstances in which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of
the foregoing liabilities and expense.
3
The
Company maintains a liability insurance policy for its directors and officers as permitted
by Wisconsin law which may extend to, among other things, liability arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(a)    
               The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)    
               To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
               post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)     
               To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of                1933, as amended;
(ii)    
               To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective                date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment                thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change                in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement;
(iii)   
               To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not                previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to                such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)              That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of           1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new           registration
statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the           offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona           fide offering
thereof.
(3)              To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
          securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
          offering.
4
(b)              The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining           any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the           Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of           the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an           employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the           Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this           Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement           relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities           at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)              Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of           1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the           Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant           has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission           such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
          therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
          or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
          successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter           has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate           jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public           policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of           such issue.
