In Ireland, at a Harley supported meeting - The Ireland BikeFest -
I found the bikers (whatever they were riding) were very supportive of both Spiders & our SlingShot.
We even went on to win the "People's Choice - Best In Show" trophy, with the UK_Paul SlingShot. Much to the HD official's disappointment. It was clear to see Harley had a commercial view, of the event, where as the riders, just thought of riding & appreciating what had attended.
We all just need to keep pushing.
