Default What products are relabeled with a HD logo?

I know that HD batteries are just relabeled Deka's and the Daymaker light is made by JW Speaker, but I'm curious what other products put out by the MOCO are just relabeled.

HD helmets are relabeled, some HJC some Bell. HD makes bikes, you will find that like all other bike manufactures they contract with other companies for parts accessories and have it either built to a certain Spec for HD or just relabeled for HD

Sears sold the HD branded orange and black tool boxes. Going at near fire sale prices now, compared to original retail.

Wolverine makes most of their boots.
Gerbing used to make their heated gear.

Saw one of those at the dealer in Galesburg Ill. Really wanted it as I need a tool box. I would assume since that was at Sears, it's a Craftsman?

Rebranded products with the HD logo automatically adds 50% to the price.

Many other bike makers do just that, but most of the time I've seen both logos on the product. Not that I'm thinking that HD is doing something deceptive, just more of a curiosity.

Finding that out while I'm shopping for a new battery today. Deka = $87, HD = $114

You'd have a hard time finding a product category that doesn't include HD "logo'd" products.

Want MoCo bedsheets? Right here.
Want a case for your smartphone? Right here.
How about a coat hook? Gotcha covered.
Soccer-mom chair? Bingo.
Sweet golf umbrella? Accept no substitutes.
Cocktail picks? Your friends will be impressed.
Chip and Dip tray? My personal favorite.

Yes, I know you were asking about stuff for sale at the dealership. Still, it amuses me how much companies are willing to spend to put the bar and shield on just about anything, secure in the knowledge that doing so will increase sales.

Measured by number of items, most of the things for sale at a MoCo dealership are made by someone else and labeled "HD". Even the bikes themselves are mostly assembled from purchased parts.

Dunno why, but I've always found the BBQ grill stuff entertaining. https://store.weber.com/accessories/...-davidson/1649
