Default RE: Harley steel made in USA!

I used to make Ping Pong Tables for a dealer that sold to the major big box stores. The steel leg sets were made in China and flown into Chicago, cheaper than US made? I thought that was crazy. The boxes said made in Canada or Made in USA on them, so customers had no idea that the majority of the product was imported?

It wasn't right IMO.

Polaris Victory motorcycles are also made of all US steel...If I remember correctly they even spec that the iron come from Minnesota's taconite mines, up north.
