What products are relabeled with a HD logo?

One thing, please tell me what parts or merchandise is NOT relabeled, not only for Harley Davidson. Only the parts they make their own as Motor Company are 'genuine'. The rest is purchased from special suppliers, manufacturing parts with the mark 'Harley Davidson'. The next production charge is labeled "Honda" or "Kawasaki" or what brandname ever. To comfort you all, it is not HD alone. The entire industry, from motorparts to paint and from food products to toiletpaper consists of 'manufacturing under brand name for a certain production charge'. Or do you think that your light bulbs are special manufactured for HD? No, a certain number of a production charge is specialy labeled for HD, the next for another brand and their own brand name. Your marmelade is not manufactured only under the name of your supermarket but your supermarket brand name is one of the many they produce as the same product under different brand names.
Once the cheap outdoor paint of supermarket in the Netherlands was famous for its quality and endurance. The tins were printed with the name of the supermarket involved. When I got an order to re-organize a professional paint factory who was famous for his high quality paint, amongst others in the heavy duty professional marine paint business, I discovered that the surplus of every production charge of the professional paint was packed in tins of the supermarket and delivered to them. So you see, what you see on labeling is not always what you get.

The real question shouldn't be "who makes it for them?" It should be, "Does their stuff work?" I don't care if a chemical is brewed in a vat in somebody's basement in Tentflap, AZ. If it works, it works.

This place makes Harley crankshafts. I've seen the marked pallets in the engine plant.

So to answer the question; just about everything is made by someone else. HD either assembles it, re-labels it or both. To be fair, that's the same thing car manufacturers do.
