You ride a Harley motorcycle with the H-D logo on it. What's the difference, other than not being built in China? Some of the parts and accessories are.
They possibly could be factory rejects. I would imagine they could not advertise with the H-D logo without the Motor Companys aproval.

i would imagine they're the same ones that sell for $300+ on ebay. you can buy them in lots and get them for even cheaper.
there's just too much going on with HD jackets, it's like a harley patch machine vomited on the jacket.

That happens there a lot. Once they have the pattern/design etc. some factories send merchanise out the back door. Friends of ours have their own dog clothing line, made in China of course, and they had that very same problem. Found their designs being sold for cheaper on line from China.

that is why i do not buy anything from h.d i only buy american, period and yes it more but the quality is so much better plus if i have problem its handled, yes some parts are made in china on our bikes, i change most of them out with aftermarket stuff made in u.s.a. i won`t even buy toys for the dog that are china made, you get what you pay for

I'm baffled why people are still buying H-D labeled goods that are clearly marked "Made In China". I mean seriously, with all the amazing leathers that are made in this country (Fox Creek for example), who is still buying this chinese stuff? I'm not saying its a low quality product when its genuine and made to H-D specs, but come on already.
