Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Harley-Davidson Retirement Plans Committee
Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings
Plan for Kansas City Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Kansas City Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Kansas City
Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
1. Description of the Plan
The following brief description of the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Kansas City Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete information.
General
The Plan is a defined-contribution plan that covers hourly employees of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company Group, Inc. (the “Company”) Kansas City plant, subject to a union bargaining agreement and meeting minimum eligibility requirements. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
Contributions
Participants may defer a portion of their compensation on a pretax basis through contributions to the Plan. The Plan allows participants to make Roth contributions to the Plan on an after-tax basis. For purposes of the Plan, a Roth contribution is an elective deferral that otherwise would be a pretax contribution to the Plan, but the participant, at the time of making the cash or deferral election with respect to the contribution, has irrevocably designated it as a Roth contribution rather than as a pretax contribution. A Roth contribution is included in the participant’s taxable income at the time the participant would have received that amount in cash if the participant had not elected to have the amount contributed to the Plan as a Roth contribution. The maximum amount that participants may defer and contribute to the Plan is determined from time to time by the plan administrator and is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
The Plan allows for Company matching contributions in Company common stock. Company matching contributions of $0.25 per dollar of participant contributions are made when the Company meets certain financial performance targets and apply only to participant contributions up to 6% of a participant’s eligible compensation.
Rollover contributions to the Plan are permitted under certain circumstances, as defined in the Plan.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participants’ Accounts
Separate accounts are maintained for each participant. The account balances are adjusted on a daily basis for participants’ contributions, Company contributions, net investment income, loan fees, and distributions of participants’ benefits or withdrawals.
Participants have the option of investing their contributions in one or any combination of 25 investment funds.
The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements under Section 404(c) of ERISA and, therefore, provides that participants may choose to direct their contributions and/or all or part of their account balances among any of the Plan’s investment alternatives daily.
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in 100% of their contributions and earnings thereon. Participants vest 100% in Company contributions after completing three years of service, with 1,000 hours of service in each year. Participants who terminate due to death, disability, or retirement immediately become 100% vested in their entire account.
Payments of Benefits
Benefit and withdrawal payments consist of the following:
For payments made upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment, the balance in a participant’s account is paid to the participant or beneficiary in a lump sum, periodic payments (in certain instances), or other form of payment as allowed under the Plan.
Participants may not withdraw prior to retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment any portion of their account pertaining to contributions made under provisions of Section 401(k) of the Code, except for financial hardships, as defined in the Code, or after the participant attains age 59 1/2 or becomes disabled, as defined by the Social Security Administration. The permissible in-service withdrawals are from participant contributions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow up to 50% of their vested account balances, not to exceed $50,000. A Borrower may request a loan only if the vested Plan account balance is at least $2,000 and the minimum loan amount shall be $1,000. Loans are not permitted from employer matching contributions regardless of vesting status. Loans bear interest commensurate with the rate which would be charged by commercial lenders for similar loans. The term of the loan cannot exceed five years (ten years in the case of a home purchase).
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are shared by the Company and the Plan. Loan application and service fees are paid directly by participants.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investments
The Plan’s investments consist of its interest in the net assets of the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) and notes receivable from participants. The interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is stated at fair value. Notes receivable from participants are stated at their unpaid principal balances plus accrued interest, which approximate fair value. The Master Trust is an arrangement by which certain investments of the Plan and four other Harley-Davidson defined-contribution plans share a trust (see Note 3). The Plan’s investment in the Master Trust is based on its equity share of the Master Trust’s net assets. Purchases and sales of specific Master Trust investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Master Trust has an investment in the Managed Income Portfolio, a common trust fund of the Fidelity Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans (the “Managed Income Portfolio Fund”), which includes benefit-responsive investment contracts. Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The statements of assets available for benefits present the fair value of the Managed Income Portfolio Fund and the adjustment from fair value to contract value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:
| Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. | |
| Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: | |
| • Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||
| • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | ||
| • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; | ||
| • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | ||
| If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||
| Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. | |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2009 and 2008, for the Plan’s non-Master Trust related assets measured at fair value (see Note 3 for Master Trust fair value measurements):
Notes receivable from participants: Valued at amortized cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value at year-end.
The following tables sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s non-Master Trust related assets at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Risks and Uncertainties
Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

3. Master Trust Investment
The net assets of the Master Trust consist primarily of investments held for the Plan, the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Milwaukee and Tomahawk Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees, the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, the Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for York Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees, and the Buell Motorcycle Company Retirement Savings Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). The net assets have been allocated among the Plans based on the respective participants’ interest, adjusted for other allocable assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was between 1% to 2%.
Fair Value Measurements
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2009 and 2008, for the Master Trust’s assets measured at fair value:
Mutual funds: Valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Master Trust at year-end.
Managed Income Portfolio Fund: Valued at fair value, based on information provided by the issuer of the common trust fund by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the creditworthiness of the issuer of the specific instruments of the fund at year-end (see Note 2).
The fund is designed to deliver safety and stability by preserving principal and accumulating earnings. This fund is primarily invested in guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts. Participant-directed redemptions have no restrictions; however, the Plan is required to provide a one-year redemption notice to liquidate its entire share in the fund. The fair value of this fund has been estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investment contracts in the fund as reported by the issuer of the fund. The fair value differs from the contract value. As previously discussed in Note 2, contract value is the relevant measurement attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.

Harley-Davidson Retirement Savings Plan for Kansas City
Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Master Trust Investment (continued)
Harley-Davidson, Inc. Common Stock Fund: The fund is tracked on a unitized basis. The fund consists of Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock and funds held in the Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund (money market fund) sufficient to meet the fund’s daily cash needs and other miscellaneous assets and liabilities. Unitizing the fund allows for daily trades. The fair value of a unit is based on the combined fair value of Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock (closing price in an active market on which the securities are traded), the net asset value of the money market fund, and other miscellaneous assets and liabilities held by the fund at year-end.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following tables sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Master Trust’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

4. Non-Participant-Directed Investments
Company matching contributions are invested in the Harley-Davidson, Inc. Common Stock Fund. Prior to 2008, these contributions could not be exchanged or directed to any other investment option in the Plan until the participant reached the defined vesting period or the age of 55. In 2008, the Plan was amended to allow for the immediate exchange or redirection of matching contributions to any other investment option in the Plan.

5. Transactions With Parties in Interest
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds and units of common collective trust funds managed by Fidelity Investments. Fidelity Investments is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees for certain administrative expenses are generally paid by the Company. The Master Trust also holds investments in Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock.

6. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA and the union bargaining agreement. In the event of plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts.
7. Income Tax Status
The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 5, 2001, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
8. Legal Matters
On August 25, 2005, a class action lawsuit alleging violations of ERISA was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On October 2, 2006, the ERISA plaintiff filed an Amended Class Action Complaint, which named the Company, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company Retirement Plans Committee, the Company’s Leadership and Strategy Council, and certain current or former Company officers or employees as defendants. In general, the ERISA complaint included factual allegations similar to those in shareholder class action lawsuits that Harley-Davidson, Inc. has disclosed in its publicly available filings (that include complaints that allege securities law violations) and alleged on behalf of participants in certain Harley-Davidson retirement savings plans that the plan fiduciaries breached their ERISA fiduciary duties. On December 18, 2006, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the ERISA complaint. On October 8, 2009, the judge granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the clerk of court entered judgment dismissing the class action lawsuit. No appeal was taken from the final judgment, and the dismissal of the action is now final.
