PARK AT THE YORK CO. VISITORS INFO CENTER ACROSS STREET!!
Established as an assembly facility in 1973, this site is the
largest manufacturing facility of its kind, 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.
More than 3,200 employees work around the clock assembling certain
models, as well as limited production, factory-custom models. 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. At the Vaughn L. Beals Tour Center,
you'll explore exhibits that detail the plant's history, guide you
through the manufacturing and assembly processes and highlight the
Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO). You'll also have the chance to sit
on current production motorcycles and visit the gift shop for
tour-related souvenirs. The Kids' Rally, a specially designed area
for visitors under the age of 12, makes the York facility an ideal
family destination. Your journey begins with an introductory movie
and continues on the factory floor where you'll get a
behind-the-scenes look at the people, processes and products of
York Vehicle Operations. You'll be guided through various
manufacturing and assembly areas, watch as parts are formed,
welded, machined and polished, and see freshly painted and chrome
plated parts. Then it's on to the end of the line, where every
motorcycle is roll-tested prior to crating and shipping. Over the
years, thousands of enthusiasts have made the journey to York,
Pennsylvania to witness passion forged in steel.
