    Americans should not complain about items being made overseas. It's our fault, we demanded cheaper prices and with union wages running wild, the only way you could get cheaper prices was overseas.

    I think most Americans don't give a damn about where things are being made.

    I remember when Walmart started. Their mantra was "We will only sell goods made in America" - - - look at it now.

    Now today = WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING FROM OVERSEAS due to the supply chain problem. Things I've ordered for X-Mas won't be here in time. FUBAR!!!!!

    I'm sure Sam would have something to say if he were alive. Once his kids took over, it was downhill from there. The smaller stores were much nicer to shop in.

    I was using a wrench, to loosen up a bolt, when I noticed it was a 12 mm size (metric size) .............I busted out laughing, I said I thought that you had an American bike, then why am I using metric wrenches............From that day on, he never ragged on me again.......for riding a Jap bike....Soooooooooooooooo the moral of this story is that Harley is NOT ALL AMERCIAN MADE..

    Over the years I have switched between "jap" bikes and Harleys, usually had Yamahas. I kept all my metrics out but then when switching back to a Harley I put those away and pulled my other sets out. I never had metric bolts/nuts on any of my Harleys that I can remember.

    Yes, mostly the case here too.

    On your Harley, the battery terminals bolts are 10mm

    The lug nuts are 19mm (but 3/4 will work).

    Default BMW "NOT" made in Germany

    Before my TriGlide I owned two BMWs. Although the motors are "assembled" in Germany, if you turn over almost any other part is says made in Spain, Czechoslovakia or any number of other countries.

    Are Urals still made in Russia?

    I would not be too upset the lens was made in Japan. Japan's quality control is a heck of a lot better than China.

    Why the chinese and jap parts. UNIONS. Thats right, if I can make my stuff elsewhere without meeting union demands, I will have the chinese and japs, mexicans making the stuff, and sell it right back to us at a US price and haul in billions$$$. Tax the wealthiest, go ahead, they don't pay as much in taxes but us consumers do. Keep getting walletts out.
