Still love my bike cant do much about where its made ..... The MOCO is a business its out to make the most profit it can ...... not sayin i agree with the mark up but if it can get it made cheaper elsewhere its gonna go there ..... We have the same issues in England with businesses ..... On the question about gauge accuracy i have had now 4 flush mount gauge sets fitted to my fatboy because they have all been faulty ...

Just look at Boeing, GE, GM, Ford, Chrysler etc etc. They all have non US parts in them. On the flip side, look at BMW cars. The M4's and all their SUV's are made in the US (except for the motor). I wouldn't give a damn if 50 % of Harley was made overseas. I still love the brand and the bike. How many of you have US made TV's just because they are made in US?

Could also be that the HD production line does not take the time to calibrate/adjust the damn things or an engineering error from Milwaukee.

I guess since there ain't a damn thing I can do about it it really doesn't matter.We all know how good it would feel if we could brag about our beloved twin being 100% made in USA.Can say for certain my desire to own a Harley is soo strong that I will take it no matter the percentage.

Don't believe everything you read. Especially when they are talking about an advertiser. I call bull ****. The wiring alone makes up this figure. Somebody is definately blowing smoke up you ***.

There is no float associated with the fuel gauge, it is an electronic sensor mounted to the fuel pump.
Now, whether the sensor is made elsewhere, I wouldn't know.
