Along those lines... I was in Sturgis ('09) and talking to one of the Harley reps about their re-introduced '10 Wide Glide. He said he & a few others in corporate were following a thread started on a Harley forum and listed a few specifics about that thread content. Small world as I was the one who started that thread. lolthis would be a great place for them to gather information for product development.
We've had a few over the past 12 years that have actively participated. At this time, I'm not aware of any active participants. It's well known that Weber folks do read these pages; a lot of what went into the 2009 Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker models was influenced by comments and modification from posts here.
