I checked the HD site for your bike... and they show available in the US.
I have Custom Dynamics... N.Carolina company and manufacture. I love the light and it was cheaper than the HD.
good luck

JW Speaker says they make their headlights in the USA.

Ordinarily I would agree. Especially since I live about 10 miles from JW Speaker. They are a top notch organization and not just made in USA, but local. But $600 and up? No friggen way I'm paying that for a damn headlight. That's 10X the cost.
And besides, it's not like our bikes don't have Chinese parts on them. They do. So I'm not going to spend that kind of money to not put a Chinese part on a bike that already has Chinese parts.
As far as quality -- the Sunpie light I have has been flawless. No buzzing at all.
So yes, by all means, buy made in USA. When I have a reasonably competitive alternative I'll always buy made in USA. I'll even pay double. But not 10X for the little bit of night riding I do. The difference in cost will buy me a full set of American made Dunlop American Elites.

Glad your SunPie isnt buzzing.
I think I paid $800 for a pair of the JW Speaker headlights on my Jeep. That particular model had anti flicker circuitry built in to cope with the Jeeps electrical system. I like them so much that I also added their front turn signals which are of a much higher quality than the OEM.
Truck Lite may have been bought by Rigid Industries or are now in partnership with them.
