I'm quite aware of that but Harley didn't build em, Rikuo did and that ended long ago.

They were barn job copies and only for Japan. I used
to have pictures of them but I guess I dumped em.
They weren't actually Harleys.

If you happen to know of ANY American car that is 100% American content and 100% built in America...please do tell.

Take a look around you house and see how many of your possessions you can find that meet this definition of "American Made"
