President Reagan removed the tariff increases on heavyweight motorcycles he ordered four years ago, saying the action will not harm the domestic motorcycle industry. The tariff hikes were imposed April 15, 1983, at the request of Harley Davidson, the only U.S. manufacturer of heavyweight cycles. Harley Davidson later asked that the increases be removed as no longer necessary. Without the presidential action lowering the tariffs again at this time, they would have stayed at the increased levels through April 15, 1988.
