I think he is trying to show you where all of those parts came from and not the quantity of them.

atleast the bikes are put together in the us you ever wonder how much a harley would cost if they didn't outsource the making of everything. i use to work for a place that would store the engines before they went to york or kc to be put into the bikes. just blows my mind when i found out how much harley spends on storage and transporting their goods.

I just read that 65% of manufacturing for the USA is done in the USA. But that figure could drop by half within the next ten years.

That's why when choosing aftermarket parts, I look for made in the USA.
