harley put a large assembly plant in brazil early last year. so if you have a 08-2010 there is a good chance your american made bike was made in brazil. most of the baggers and softail for sure.
this argument has come up a lot in my group of frinds. who will only buy american made. i asked them what bike is the most american made. kawasaki has a plant in maryvill mo. those bikes are assembled there so they are american made. yamaha has a plant down south where the larger bikes are made. american or metric is in name only these days.

HD has had a plant in Brazil since the late 90s and assembles bikes there to sell in Brazil to avoid very high tariffs. NON are exported to the US.
