RE: HD: Screw You!!

Is it possible that all of this is due to the outsourcing of so many parts to foreign countries? I've wondered how it's possible to even have all of these fasteners if the bike were truly 100%&nbsp\\;made in the good ole USA.

I suspect it's a conglomeration of **** from all over the world including China.

Just my $.02

And to think this whole time I thought it was some kind of security feature to slow down a part thief.

Don't need no wrenches for the shovelhead, baling wire, duct tape and zip ties.&nbsp\\; Occasionally a little JB Weld for those hard to hold on parts&nbsp\\; [8D]
