Credit for this goes to Fred Olsen who lives near Milwaukee and who is 
not on the list at present due to some computer issues, but he found an 
example of the Harley Davidson stereo on this page, about halfway 
down:

Harley-Davidson®  Stereo System
99370-88LP

This home stereo system has phonograph, double cassette and am/fm
tuner built in. We believe it is 70 Watts. It works good, but volume and
balance switches are crackly when turned. May just need a good cleaning
or replaced, We are not sure. It is signed Harley-Davidson® with the wings
right on the front of the system. This was made in 1987 and was very limited
and are very hard to find. When we received it in, the both sides of the 
wooden
cabinet on the bottom were damaged in shipping. It can be fixed by replacing
both sides. The picture does not show the damage to both lower sides. 
Will need
to add speakers to this system. Nice collectible, for any Harley lover!! 
This originally sold for $499.95 in 1987 and is worth over $1,000.00 at 
this time. But since this is not in perfect shape, we are selling it at 
a reduced price. UPS Oversized shipping will apply.
$350.00 Harley-Davidson® Stereo System

It's a mini-rack type unit with the receiver on the bottom, followed by 
graphic equalizer, dual cassette, and turntable on top, in the kind of 
black plastic and wood grain finish that was popular in the 80s with HD 
logos sprinkled here and there.

Fred says the company put the Harley name on just about anything, as can 
be seen on this site.
