Welcome to the Global economy.
Don't be mislead... It's always been about the $$$... not thelabel.
"Made in America" may be nice, but the American publicspends their hard-earned moneybased on what they can afford to save.
...and the American public invests deeply into American companies making a profit.
Like it or not... we (the consumer) created it. It's the side-effect of living in the Greatest Country in the World.

RE: ordered parts from Zanotti
Just remember the profits from the bike built in Marysville, Ohio go to Japan. Most of their suppliers are companies set up by the Japanese. (Not all of them, but most.) Not an excuse for Harley parts made outside of the US, but we are in a global economy. Why do the Japanese build products here? Because it gives them an economic advantage. Why do American companies outsource overseas? Because it gives them an economic advantage.

"Made in America" many times means "Assembled in America" and does not mean that the parts assembled are 100% American.
The Honda Goldwingmay beJapanese but is"Made in America" or should I say "Assembled in America" in Ohio.
