Might as well, a high percentage of the HD parts come from China.

Nothing on a HD comes from China. In the 80′s the speedometer and the Keihin carburettor were Japanese made. Now the carburettor is replaced by a Delphi EFI system and Bosch oxygen sensors. The speedometer is part of the electronic security and turn signal system. The engine, transmission, frame, tank, wheels and shocks are all American made. The tires are made by Dunlop. Why make a comment that doesn’t make any sense?

Harley Owner, PerformanceIsKey was referring to clothes; the most important Harley parts to all Harley owners.

I’m in China and went looking at the new Harleys here. I would have bought one too untill I found out the price. For a Sportster 883low with custom blue paint and spoke wheels they wanted just about double the msrp conus. A wapping USD14179.00 I was blown away and began to realize how the Chinese are keeping us out of the market by exorbitant tariffs and taxes. Mini Cooper a very cute car was the same. Just about double the price in the US or Europe.

Gentlemen, welcome to Asia. Cars and motorbikes are generally twice or more the price that you pay in US. What we pay for a Camry here, it is probably the equivalent of a Mercedes-Benz top-of-the-line E-Class in the US.

I would like to buy a Harley Davidson t shirt from a shop in China if they make them.

I have a Harley Davidson Factory #1 sign that is 6.5′x 5.5′ lights up never been used still in crate. I’ve been told it is worth over 20K. I am in the process of selling the sign. Anyone interested.

H.D? Nope. I had one for a VERY SHORT period. Overpriced and VERY uncomfortable. Parts, labor, even oil change – very expensive. Once you buy it, H.D owns you. Price out their parts and labor first unless you want to ride it the same way off the show room. We’ve been riding YAMAHA ROADSTAR for five years now. We love it.

With so many people in China taking such a strong interest in Canadian culture lately, I suspect that Harley Davidson will be successful in this market.
