Because they had to. They had just pulled out from under the AMF umbrella and were in desperate need of cash. Their name was the most bankable thing they had and they used it anyway they could. They had to or they wouldn't have made it through those first hard years being finally independent again. That and cheap Sportsters was what kept them in business until they came out with the Evo engine and upgraded the product line. Bottom line was it worked.
