Just so you know, the new American made Dyna's are now fitted with Spanish made Michelin tires. So much for an American bike!

Just so you know, Harley has been using Japanese Showa forks since 1973. Dunlop was originally a British company until bought by Goodyear and Sumitomo.

Just so you know, most people wouldn't pay the required price of a true 100% American bike.

That's the last thing you should worry about. If you want a complete list here's a partial:

Fuel System: Made in Japan
Wiring harness: Made in China
Most electronic modules: Japan and or China

almost nothing is 100% American made anymore. I just try to look at where the money terminates. HD is an American company.

A lot of Chevy's are assembled in Mexico or Canada. But GM is an American company.

Some Jap cars are assembled in the US but it's still a Japanese company.

It's all got something to do with GDP and ****. I'm no economist but it's what my dad and grand dad always preached.

Well I support the BUY AMERICAN thing and Dunlops are made in the U.S.A. Sorry you guys don't have any national pride! I do care that anything I but is made buy workers working in my country with respectful pay, safety, and environmental policies.

You are so right! Don't worry about where the rubber meets the road! YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT
