Ornery crowd tonight. If HD wants to promote itself as the Buy American company it should have significantly more content that is American. My Vulcan 750 was assembled in Ft. Wayne, IN , but very little American content. If HD outsources majority of parts then what is the difference?

Thunder Press had an article a few months ago that said HD is 95% Made in the USA. How much more do you want? Where are most of your possesions made?

Bought a Memphis Shades tri pouch windshield bag stating made in the USA in the ad and on the box with a flag logo. When I opened the box the bag has a tag that reads " made in China and assembled in USA" How does a person really know?
Sorry if this is a hijack.
