Just like back then if your cars mileage hit 100k, you automatically thought it needed to be junked.
Some of them did, depending on who worked on them!
No matter how bad AMF was the simple fact is Harley Davidson would not be here today if it wern't for them buying Harley.I have always told people, there are two kinds of Harley owners. The ones that think they are mechanics, and the ones that are. With the older bikes, I would tell them that if you build it properly, you will still have an occasional issue. If you build them like the persons that think they are mechanics, you will always have an issue. Pretty much since the Evolution, they stay together on their own. And with all the bad mouthing, ( I did it too ) about AMF, they with Porsche, started that engine that helped Harley survive.
When I build a pizza the depth of the mozzarella looks more like meringue......
Yes there was always two kinds of Harley owners, the less than desirable ones had a tool collection that consisted of a BFH. a pipe wrench, some vice grips and a few screw drivers, Lol.I have always told people, there are two kinds of Harley owners.

NoA grade up were the ones that had bailing wire, hose clamps and eventually zip ties. We ALL carried old spark plugs and big washers in our pockets, too. Any guesses on what they were for??

They were in my coat pocket to toss at the m'fer that just tried to kill me???????Prize goes to Dave!!! The items in the pocket were for tailgaters and other road-idiots who earned the right to buy a new windshield or more.
Yep to throw at idiotsA grade up were the ones that had bailing wire, hose clamps and eventually zip ties. We ALL carried old spark plugs and big washers in our pockets, too. Any guesses on what they were for??
