Would you still buy that HD?

If they were totally produced in China, because it may happen.

HARLEYS are built in the USA by American workers and the dollars stay in the USA. Everything else is NOT A HARLEY.

Man some of you must not have looked on the small print on some of your parts then they aint all from the USA. I doubt that Harley's will be all made in China. But I wouldnt be surprised if more parts arent made there.

I think if we get to the point were they're made in China that'll meen that this country has truely gone to hell. I won't be able to afford a bike then because there'll be no middle class left. rich or poor and I'll be one of the poor.

You are correct. HD is basically just "Assembled" in the US now. They will probably just add more foreign made parts to the mix and loose their right to say "Made in America" since a certain amount of parts MUST be made here in order to say that, but they won't be moving their assembly plants entirely.
