Man I don't know about y'all but I'm sick in tired of spending a Hundred Dollars on stuff that doesn't even last 6months. I don't get it if you have experierienced the same type thing plz respond I think Harley needs to get there act together and start bringing quality back to their products because now China is taking the fun out of my hobby! :-(

I think you are a bit late, If you did not know it China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, now Vietnam etc have been taking the fun about America.

Almost all manufacturing nowadays is done elsewhere. It's been going on for 5 or 10 years.

Question is what only last 6 months from HD?

Remember it was us, the american consumer that is to blame because if we don't buy it they will have to make a change eventually.

There are a great many companies in the US that make virtually any part for almost all styles of HD.



Just a thought.

For me - the flush mount LED fuel gauge.

I knew about it before I spent the cash, but I wanted the look.
Sucks as I like my shit to work right. :icon_shrug:
