Like the vrod, Porsche had a big helping hand with AMF in designing the evo. Most of the electricals came from Japan and a lot of the other engine design points came from porsche, like the spider lock tech for the cylinder sleeves and things like that.
That is from the beginning to where we are now. First a few things made out of country, now most things made out of country and assembled here in the states.
