(i) The Trust Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business and had at all relevant times, and has, power, authority and legal right to acquire and own the Contracts.

(ii) The Trust Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications.

(iii) The Trust Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Trust Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust as part of the Trust Estate and has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit with the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Trust Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

(iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Trust Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Trust Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties of the Trust Depositor pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents); nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Trust Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Trust Depositor or its properties.

(v) There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the Trust Depositor's best knowledge threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Trust Depositor or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the Trust Certificate, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Trust Certificate or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Trust Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the Trust Certificate or (D) involving the Trust Depositor and which might adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Trust Certificate.

Section 2.11. Federal Income Tax Treatment.

It is the intention of the Trust Depositor that the Trust be disregarded as a separate entity pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) as in effect for periods after January 1, 1997. The Trust Certificate constitutes the sole equity interest in the Trust and must at all times be held by either the Trust Depositor or its transferee as sole owner. The Trust Depositor agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes the Trust will be disregarded as a separate entity, Trust items of income, gain, loss and deduction for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated entirely to the Trust Depositor (or subsequent purchaser of the Trust Certificate) as the sole Certificateholder.

ARTICLE THREE

TRUST CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.01. Initial Ownership.

(a) Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Trust Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificate, the Trust Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust. The Trust Certificate must at all times be held by either the Trust Depositor or its transferee as sole owner.

(b) No transfer of the Trust Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made in a transaction which does not require registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under any state securities or "Blue Sky" laws.

The Trust Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of such Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.03. Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificate. The Owner Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered upon the order of the Trust Depositor, in exchange for the Contracts and the other Trust Assets, simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to the Trust of the Contracts and other Trust Assets, and the constructive delivery to the Owner Trustee of the Contract Files and the other Trust Assets, a Trust Certificate duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee, evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust, and Notes issued by the Owner Trustee and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in aggregate principal amount of, in the case of (i) Class A-1 Notes, $280,000,000, (ii) Class A-2 Notes, $171,250,000 and (iii) Class B Notes, $23,750,000, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in the form of Trust Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B, executed by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent, by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Trust Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Trust Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Upon issuance, authorization and delivery pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Certificate will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificate.

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, a Certificate Register, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe. The Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of the Trust Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificate as provided herein. The Owner Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering the Trust Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificate as herein provided. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee notifies the Servicer that it is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the City of Chicago, Illinois, agreeing to act in accordance

with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar hereunder.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Trust Certificate at the Owner Trustee Corporate Trust Office, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, the new Trust Certificate having the same aggregate principal amount.

(c) Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Trust Certificate, but the Owner Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer of the Trust Certificate.

(e) All Trust Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Owner Trustee.

Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificate. If (i) any mutilated Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and fractional undivided interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.06. Person Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice of the contrary.

Section 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholder's Name and Address.

The Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the Trust Certificate, agrees with the Servicer, the Trust Depositor and the Owner Trustee that none of the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Owner Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the name and address of the Certificateholder hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Trust Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificate and this Agreement may be served. The Owner Trustee hereby designates the Owner Trustee Corporate Trust Office as its office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Trust Depositor, the Servicer and to the Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 3.09. Trust Certificate. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute, authenticate and deliver, a Trust Certificate.

Section 3.10. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Paying Agent initially shall be BNY Midwest Trust Company, and any co-paying agent chosen by the

Paying Agent that is acceptable to the Owner Trustee. Each Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee. In the event that BNY Midwest Trust Company shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.01 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder.

Section 11.05. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Trust Certificate or the rights of the Holder thereof.

Section 11.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.08. Covenants of the Trust Depositor.

Initial Trust Certificate
Fractional Interest 100%

THIS CERTIFIES THAT Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp. is the registered owner of 100% of the non-assessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Trust 2003-3 (the "Trust") formed by Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Trust Depositor").

The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2003 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"), between the Trust Depositor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in (i) the Trust Agreement, (ii) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2003 (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"), among the Trust, the Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. ("Harley-Davidson Credit"), as Servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer") and BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") or (iii) the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2003 (the "Indenture"), between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

This Trust Certificate is the duly authorized Trust Certificate designated as "Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Trust 2003-3 Certificate" (the "Trust Certificate"). Issued under the Indenture are three classes of notes designated as " % Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Contract Backed Notes, Class A-1", " % Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Contract Backed Notes, Class A-2" and " % Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Contract Backed Notes, Class B" (collectively, the "Notes"). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes, among other things, (i) all the right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the Initial Contracts listed on the initial List of Contracts delivered on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all security interests and all rights to receive payments which are collected pursuant thereto after the Initial Cutoff Date, including any liquidation proceeds therefrom, but excluding any rights to receive payments which were collected pursuant thereto on or prior to the Initial Cutoff Date), (ii) all rights of the Trust Depositor under any physical damage or other individual insurance policy (and rights under a "forced placed" policy, if any) or any debt cancellation agreement relating to any such Contract, an Obligor or a Motorcycle securing such Contract, (iii) all security interests in each such Motorcycle, (iv) all documents contained in the related Contract Files, (v) all rights (but not the obligations) of the Trust Depositor under any related motorcycle dealer agreements between dealers (i.e., the originators of such Contracts) and Harley-Davidson Credit, (vi) all rights of the Trust Depositor in the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement to the extent they relate to such Contracts, (vii) all rights (but not the obligations) of the Trust Depositor under the Transfer and Sale Agreement, including but not limited to the Trust Depositor's rights under Article V thereof, (viii) the remittances, deposits and payments made into the Trust Accounts from time to time and amounts in the Trust Accounts from time to time (and any investments of such amounts), (ix) all rights of the Trust Depositor to certain rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to insurance policies, debt cancellation agreements, extended service contracts or other repair agreements and other items financed under such Contracts and (x) all proceeds and products of the foregoing.

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the fifteenth day of each month or if such day is not a Business Day the next succeeding Business Day commencing September 15, 2003 (each, a "Distribution Date") to the person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as of the last Business Day immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs (each, a "Record Date"), such Certificateholder's

fractional undivided beneficial interest in the amount to be distributed to the Certificateholder on such Distribution Date.

The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders to the extent described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

It is the intention of Harley-Davidson Credit, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholder that the Trust be disregarded as a separate entity pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) as in effect for periods after January 1, 1997. The Trust Certificate constitutes the sole equity interest in the Trust and must at all times be held by either the Trust Depositor or its transferee as sole owner. The Trust Depositor agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes the Trust will be disregarded as a separate entity, Trust items of income, gain, loss and deduction for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated entirely to the Trust Depositor (or subsequent purchaser of the Trust Certificate) as the sole Certificateholder.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate or beneficial interest in a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Trust Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit or the Servicer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificate, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Trust Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Owner Trustee in the City of Wilmington, Delaware.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or any other Transaction Document or be valid for any purpose.

THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

[REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]

The Trust Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in the Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit, as the Seller or Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Trust) and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In addition, this Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries with respect to the Contracts and certain other amounts, in each case as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon written request during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trust Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trust Depositor.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholder under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Trust Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Holder of the Trust Certificate and the Modified Required Holders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Trust Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holder of this Trust Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holder of any of the Trust Certificate.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the new Trust Certificate of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is the Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Estate. Harley-Davidson Credit may at its option purchase the Trust Estate at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Contracts and other property of the Trust will affect early retirement of the Trust Certificate; however, such right of purchase is exercisable only as of any Distribution Date on which the Pool Balance has declined to less than 10% of the sum of (i) the initial Pool Balance and (ii) the Pre-Funded Amount on the Closing Date.

The Trust Certificate may not be acquired by a Benefit Plan. The Holder hereof, by accepting a beneficial interest in this Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acquiring this Trust Certificate or an interest therein for the account of, or with plan assets of, a Benefit Plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Trust Certificate to be duly executed.
