Harley-Davidson motorcycles taking on the Japanese way of manufacturing motorcycles 

Japanese motorcycle engines and other parts on the bike are made not to be fixed just to be replaced. Harley-Davidson is now taking on that form of manufacturing which puts small motorcycle shops out of business. Unless you are and official Harley dealer which cost millions.

How does this effect small motorcycle businesses that aren’t official Harley dealers.
Could this cause a domino effect on companies that produce new parts for Harleys.

  2. Pretty broad, maybe narrow it down a bit? Will be a great paper and very informative.

  3. Part of your project will be to provide the context for your argument tht these kinds of engines are specififcally desinged in this way. Finding a few creidble resources that provide valid arguments that this is the case for japanese companies and h-d would go along way to creating reder interest.
