You will never be able to find out a percentage. HD uses intermediary US companies to source overseas parts. In other words, for nuts and bolts, they may buy them from ACME bolts a US company. But ACME buys them in China and resells them to Harley.
For us old Geezers it's a bitter pill to swallow, but trying to keep our money in the US is virtually impossible. The best I can do is try and spend my money on any company that invests in the USA. Ask yourself this, who has made a bigger investment in the USA? Harley or Honda? I have no problem buying Honda.

Now comes the moment of truth. Admit it, eat some crow and be the wiser for it. Or, do what most people do these days and when it comes to laying blame right where it belongs.
The second choice will make the next project just as difficult as putting on a pair of muffler tips.

Like if I buy a new car, I want the paint to peel off in a few days.

It's a tiny *** gap on a muffler. I'm not sure you're qualified to talk about spending money and having something look good.
