York, Pennsylvania is also known as the "Factory Tour Capital" of the world for its rich manufacturing heritage and abundance of factory tours (including Harley-Davidson's York Vehicle Operations factory tour). Steeped in history and holding the key to our future, York remains the lynchpin of Harley-Davidson's production workforce. Established as an assembly facility in 1973, Harley-Davidson's York Vehicle Operations is the largest Harley-Davidson manufacturing facility, employing roughly half the company's production workforce. The York facility covers more than 230 acres and has over 1.5 million square feet under roof.

Employees here work around the clock assembling Touring and Softail® models, as well as limited production, factory-custom motorcycles. They perform a variety of manufacturing operations - from machining, polishing and chrome plating, to forming, welding and painting. York employees also produce a wide range of current and replacement parts for various models.
