Try h-dmuseum.com for info on that. I do believe you have to buy tickets.
For the factory tours, I'd try harley-davidson.com
For the tours, they have a daily schedule, and its basically first come (per tour) first in. They only take so many per tour, like 15 or so, so it would be the first 15. The tours take an hour and finish up in their store where you can buy items not available anywhere else. If you are #16 waiting you have to wait until the next tour. I believe they have several tours every day, but am not sure how many or when they begin each day, or even if they do them everyday.

Maps in hand, route laid out, most of the stops planned, just waiting on the day. Getting stoked. I still have room for a couple of stops. Any more suggestions? Going to make a swing to the east along Erie to see 4 of the 5 Lakes.
we made a run like this last year. we started in ANN ARBOR went to Luddington spent the night took the ferry to Manitowoc the next day about 4 hours "and do bring a couple straps.Then we spent a couple days in Milwaukee messed around went to the museum stuff like that.We left there and went up to Tomahawk Wi. spent the night had ball "damn good people" went the next day to the harley factory in Tomahawk " kind a boring" they make the fiberglass parts.left tha afternoon and drove to Duluth Mn.spent the night there.left the next morning went across the top of Wi. back in the UP of Mi. took 28 to Copper Harbor absolutely a must see.spent the night there left later that day we rode to Manistee spent the night the next day we road to Sault Ste.Marie turned headed south over the bridge "no problem" turned right went through the tunnel of trees "another must do" come down the coast back home. all in all it was a litlle more than 2000 miles and nothing short of spectacular. p.s. we went the first week of august and had sunshine and 80 degrees. enjoy your ride

Do you want to see Lake Erie in Michigan? None of the roads really get close enough for a look. Trust me, I've seen mile of cornfields between Detroit and Ohio, (by the way, that's the way I roll) but you might need to get off the bike to see more than a passing sliver of Lake Erie.

I cross the bridge a lot, count on there being construction and count on riding on the metal grate. Not a big deal, just relax and go slow and let the bike move around as it follows the the metal grate...you won't go down.
