I don't buy that, the country of origin for my bike is the US, not China, and it has the hodgepodge of fasteners. With Apple it's a different story, China does most of the assembly of Apple products.
Sure, china has moved onto to 20thcentury a long time ago, H-D should have done the same. Only 3 countries still use the Imperial System.

Of all the countries in the world, only three still use the archaic Imperial system of weights and measures:
Paul
- Liberia.
- Myanmar (a.k.a. “the country formerly known as Burma”)
- United States of America.

Perhaps it's done to deliberately confuse people??
I must admit, I find it really annoying that H-D don't pick one system or the other....unless of course they make a lot of dosh on replacement fasteners??

I am from the UK, and old enough to remember and have used the British/US imperial system before "decimilisation" as it was called back then (in the '70's). It's strange because this country (depending on how old you are) still uses a hodge podge of mixed imperial and metric scales all the time. We still use phrases like 4 by 2 for timber (your lumber), most older housewives still buy groceries in pounds and ounces (even tho' the European Community keeps threatening us with fines!!). Most tradesmen still use both systems habitually eg. plumbers for pipe sizes....21/2 inch waste pipe or 4 inch soil pipe. Mechanics however switched over to metric years ago because it's simpler and more precise....back in the day we even had variations on the imperial system eg, Whitworth, SAE etc it was a bloody nightmare. If you ask someone from the UK how much they weigh, they'll tell you in stones and pounds, how tall?....feet and inches.....how far away London is?.....miles. (Funny one that as officially we still use miles not kilometers....I give up!)

Relocate the idiot lights
Hi guys !
I want to have my idiot lights around the risers area.
Now, I'm quite sure I won't be able to relocate them so I'm in the process of finding some generic idiot lights and see if I can modify the electrical harness.
As anyone tried that before ?
The simplest way would be to mount the speedo and the risers of the FXBB but hell, that thing is expensive ...
