Two fingers down is probably the most common wave. If your hand is busy, shifting, holding the clutch in at a stop, or just holding the bars in a long sweeper, a nod of the head is an easy substitute for a wave. More than likely, it's safer in most cases when cornering.
A big clue as to why a lot of Harley riders don't wave can be found out by taking a test ride.
Take a test ride on a Harley. 
I've always wanted to test ride a Harley so thanks for that!
-As far as waving goes, I pretty much wave at anyone on a bike regardless of make and if I can't wave, I nod.
-Most people wave back.
-Sometimes the Harley guys don't wave back, but their women riding pillion do! Suits me fine, rather have it that way anyway.
-I always wave down low it's less work and feels more laid back and cool. -If someone on a scooter wants a wave they'll have to give one first, but I don't have a problem reciprocating.
-Occasionaly, a homeless looking pedestrian will wave when I'm cruising downtown - they get a nod only in return, no wave and no spare change.
-I'd probably wave at a biker cop just to see what happens.
I think that about covers it.
