Wasn't that article referrring to the 90's Evo era production when even the Showa forks were still made in the US ( not now though,) ?

Lots has changed in 15 years.

 

I think the ink they use on our money is made in China...lol

 

This will start a sh tstorm, we might as well get used to the fact that this is now a global economy. Made in the USA has been watered down so much over the years that now it has lost it's meaning. We still manufacture some great products here, but take pride in the fact we have exported our ingenuity to the rest of the world. Without that they would still be 3rd world economies (IMHO). Remember that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

 

All that matters is the parent company is owned by someone in the USA. To me Made in USA means keeping American's employed.

 

wake up guys china already took over of the world!!

 

Thats horse ****!!! I work for Cessna and March 30, Myself and 600 Americans are loosing thier jobs to mexico.

 

They are building a complete Cessna and sending it over in crates!

 

yes it was , current harleys are probably closer to 40 percent or less now that most of the engine components are also imported..if they had to go by the same laws as automobiles they would be labeled "assembled in USA" not made....thats why these threads always start an uproar with the die hard brand blind

 

aprox 60%. thunderpress is on drugs to believe that number.

only american parts are sheetmetal, frame, and most of the engine

 

Did the union ask for too much, or did the EPA and taxation become prohibitive?
