We'll be at every race with technical support and are happy that this program helps riders meet the financial demands of racing." "The AFT Production Twins class has developed rapidly over the last two seasons and Vance & Hines have been a major factor in that growth," said Michael Lock, CEO of Progres- sive AFT. "Their commitment to the class and riders competing on Harley-Davidson XG750Rs is welcomed and we are looking forward to an exciting season of racing in AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines!"
