Being an HD enthusiast and owner myself and also being close personal friends with my local dealer here is the deal. There is no such thing as HD licensed fabric. If you see this marketed in e-bay, they have cut up sheets. So the one you found in ebay is a huge mega rip off!! You can find sheets at lots of sources. I have gotten them at K-mart, and seen them at Walmart and other sources. I just did a quick google search for Harley Davidson Sheet sets and got lots of hits. Here is one from JC Penney. http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/XGN.aspx...DE68EA01017615

Usually they are imprinted with the HD bar and shield logo.

Harley guards their logos and trademarks with a vengence and actively even vehemently go after anyone who they view has infringed on their copyright via their vast resources in an internal legal department. That said there are many "biker" themed fabric choices such as bearpaw quilting and creative matrix. Additionally you can make a harley themed quilt with used T-shirts. Here is a link to one I did recently. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-47094-1.htm. Others have posted some as well and they are quite breathtaking and every harley owner that has seen mine has literally drooled over them. Black and orange are traditional Harley colors so you could do sashings, borders and cornerstones in those colors.

There are lots of motorcycle prints, not Harley, but very nice. Kaufman, Alexander Henry and maybe Timeless Treasures too. I am making a couple of quilts with them and they are very nice fabrics. Here are a couple of links. One is a search, the other has several of what I wanted all in the same place. You could always mix them in with whatever Harley stuff you can find.

Actually thanks to everyone's help out here on this board I am gearing that way...also making my own print with photos of Harley Davison. Came up with a lot of ideas. The lady that wants me to make the quilt said her son was "not" ready to give up his T-shirts. Bet I could find some at the a local goodwill store???

Maybe you could scan the T-shirts onto the inkjet fabric? That way, you'd have the designs and he doesn't have to give up the T-shirts.

Like others have mentioned, you just pretty much are not going to find any Harley fabric. I looked for quite awhile when I was planning a quilte for my dad. I ended up using several Kaufman prints from the Easy Rider line. I'll attach a picture of the quilt I made for my dad.

Good luck with your search and hopefully you come up with something you like!
