Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I'm trying to learn) but...
when I look at the headers sent by the server after submitting a part number on
this page this is what I see in the headers:

https://www.chicagoharley.com/cgi-bin/search_part3T.pl?part_number=2005

GET /cgi-bin/search_part3T.pl?part_number=2005 HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
----------------------------------------------------------
at the end of this I should see "Content-Type: text/html" if it's supposed to be
rendered as html.

I believe this is a fault caused by the search_part3T.pl script of the site.
To get this fixed you need to contact someone affiliated with the site.

If this is the case then this needs to be recategorized as a Tech Evangelism bug.

Part 2005 you guys, I'm going home!

It looks like the script adds an extra line-feed after the "HTTP/1.x 200 OK",
causing the headers to terminate prematurely. To Tech Evang.
