Congrats on the resto progress! I think Harley Davidson did try to
patent or trademark the sound but were unable to. You can't patent a
stumbling idle, apparently. Just think, you bring your 1964 Dodge
Dart into the shop running on two cylinders, the muffler dragging,
and you're slapped with a trademark infringement suit by Harley . ;-)
