Harley wins one in court over use of "Hog"

Harley-Davidson scored a court victory in the federal appeals court recently over a travel company for its use of the word "hog" as part of a cruise package dubbed "HOGS ON THE HIGH SEAS".
Harley-Davidson filed suit saying using the name "Hogs" was a copyright infringement, because its riders' groups are known as Harley Owners' Groups or HOGS.
The majority found that Clevert erred in applying an earlier copyright infringement case that Harley lost to this case.

Harley-Davidson Electronic Fuel-Injection Tuning Aids

Harley-Davidson introduced electronic fuel injection (EFI) to its product line in 1995. Since then, the factory has followed a slow but steady evolution toward equipping more and more models with EFI. Starting in 2007, all Harley models are shipped with EFI, including Sportys for the first time.
Tuning aids for Harley-Davidson's EFI systems can be divided into three major categories:
* Downloadable maps (called ECM calibration by Harley)

Recommended Upgrades for 2007 HD Twin Cam engine

It seems that many riders believe that using Screamin' Eagle performance upgrades have no effect on their HD Warranty. Despite what the local HD Dealer may tell them, only HD parts that are listed in the 2007 Catalog with a "green light" designation can be installed on their bikes without having a negative effect on the warranty. This means that most Screamin' Eagle components will void the warranty on much of the engine.
While in some cases your local HD Dealer can "sneak" a warranty issue through Harley's process as a courtesy to its own customers, it is highly unlikely that another Dealer will extend the same courtesy.
No matter what your local Dealer may tell you, the explanation of the warranty listed above is an honest interpretation of how Harley-Davidson is now enforcing its warranty.
The chart below lists recommend parts for upgrades that can be performed to your 2007 Harley-Davidson. While the list is not all inclusive, it does contain a list of parts that Nightrider has extreme confidence in. These parts and suppliers have historically provided the type of components and upgrades that have above average performance.
