maybe just dont buy Harley accesories.....

Yeah I'm waiting for the day I pick up the new Fat Bob, for them to steer me towards the clothing dept or whatever they call it (Motorclothes?) so I can tell them I am here to by a BIKE, not a lifestyle, and sure as hell not to buy my undies!!

It's a shame....not much of anything is made in the USA anymore. I guess if we boycott everything that's not there wouldn't be much left to choose from.

I heard none of the HD clothing is made in USA [:'(]

I got a classic style jacket and chaps from Hd dealership 2 years ago......... Made in USA...... Never paid attention to the labels til recently. What a pleasant surprise!!

Most the Harley gear I have seen is made in China, Taiwan, Indonesia, or Pakistan.
The irony with my gear............ It was the least expensive leather on the rack.

RE: HD Derby cover

Ok first yes most of the chrome and componets you buy for your HD threw your dealer are made overseas just walk up to the items hanging on the wall and look on the back taiwan or china.

The cloths are all overseas that is what ****'s me off as they want $45 bucks for a T shirt a T shirt why because we pay for it.

NOW SHOWA Forks are not made in Japan. They aremade in OHIO at American Showa. I work there.

That is good to hear. Is it a Japanese owned plant in Ohio? This goes every which way.
