So you want the motorcycles to cost $60K?

Do your own google search or better yet turn on the news. There is a whole world out there aside these forums

Where did I say that? I just want a company that claims to be American made to be true and use American products in their product.

Let's just say I order a complete HD motorcycle, from a dealer, part by part. Are you claiming the "majority" of those parts are manufacturered outside of the USA? And no, you don't have to be politically correct, just correct. Anything posted on this forum is bound to be put under the microscope in an effort to get to the truth.

Wake up. No product is 100% made anywhere, its a global world.

My point was, if you want it to be 100% american made, be prepared to pay the f* up. Harley could not survive having to charge those prices. Fact is foreign production enables many/most products to exist. It isnt 1953 anymore.

You are 100% correct it is not 1953 and nothing is 100% american made anymore with Harleys suspension being Showa (Jap company)wheels from Australia,wiring,clusters,etc from Mexico,and steel and aluminum from overseas or they wouldnt be fighting Trumps tariffs, you are correct,and like i said go to the dealer and buy a part the box will say Japan,Twain,or China more times than not. No i dont want the price to raise on our great motorcycles but i would like to have more Americans back to work to afford to keep this Great American motorcycle alive.
