     This is presumably going to come on again so worth watching for. National Geo channel has a show called Megafactories which yesteray showed the plant building the V-Rods. Showed the background, design principles, manufacturing (including CVO) and excellent interviews with Willie-G. Fantastic pride in the product from the factory staff (hope they are as keen now half of them have been stood down). An amazing company and culture. Highly recommended.

    It's called 'Harley Davidson:Birth Of The V-Rod" Discovery channel made it and Magna Pacific distibuted it in 2001. Here's the barcode number if it's of any use 9315842008192, and dvd #05330. Excellent dvd. Even non riders I loaned it to thought it was a goodie. 99% sure it's the same show?
