        <footnote id="F2">Options granted pursuant to the Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan shall become exercisable for 25% of the
 shares covered by the option on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>A Company-initiated review of its historical option grants revealed no material discrepancies in the options granted.
 However, the Company noted clerical inconsistencies relating to the grant date for this grant of options.  The Company has
 clarified the inconsistency in a manner more favorable to the Company by using the correct exercise price for a grant on May
 2, 2005.</remarks>
