Now why didn't I think of that!?!

Well, since you suggested it... About a bike maker, but not about bikes!
Everyone all over the world is familiar with the name 'Harley Davidson.' And although I ride a Yamaha cruiser, virtually every older Japanese who walks past me as I'm putting on my helmet in a parking lot asks; "Harury desuka?" (is it a Harley ?)

So I'll ask you:
Although most famous for its motorcycles, bikes are just a small part of the manufacturing production of this company.

1) During W.W. II, Harley turned the majority of its production facilities to what war need? (Non-motorcyle. Though H-D did make 90,000 military bikes, they made a LOT more of this need)

2) After the war ended, and until the real boom in bikes began (in the early '80's,) the company's major money-maker was What Product?
