Default Who is Davidson?
What is position of Davidson? There is video of him on HD website. Or it was Harley? Does he make any decisions or he is just "face" of HD?
I tried to find video again and couldn't.

I assume you are talking about Willie G. Davidson. My understanding is he is one of the designers at HD, and pretty high up in the ranks, not just a figurehead.

Willie G. is the great great great grandson of Emil C. Davidson, the inventor of the fingerless glove.
