But based on some of your posts, it almost sounds like some of you don't care where your parts come from. Sooooo........you'd buy a Harley built in China?
Kinda sounds like it. First trinkets and doodads for our bikes were built in China. Then it became more substantial parts. Hmmmmm..
..now, maybe even some internal parts, and its ok? Yep, imho, thats the kind of attitude that will say its ok when the first 'all Chinese' Harley is put on the market, certainly, at a cheaper price. Wonder if it'll go 'wing ding ding'....lol

Ok, let the flaming begin, let's start with the union guys bashing for not supporting the American workforce and explaining why we should spend more of our money to support them. It's all a matter of changing with the times.

Ya know, I don't care for the fact that so much manufacturing is going overseas, but it is becoming a global environment. That being said, if my Road King was built in China and performed, looked and had the longevity it has today, I'd buy it. I'm an old school HD diehard and understand the American made loyalty, but as the company changes, so do I. It's all part of life. Look at electronics, I probably wouldn't buy a TV or stereo made in the states.
