Hey, what about us fat, lazy, slobs on Hondas?
My 1990 Electra Glide Sport had Showa forks and shocks, Nippon Denso electronics, Nippon Denso alternator and starter, Keihin carburetor, Yuasa battery, and a few other Japanese parts.
I moved to a Moto Guzzi (also sold by the HD dealer). When I got any crap from the Harley folks, I proudly pointed out that the Guzzi had nothing Made in Japan on it, unlike their bikes. Course, to do that I had to replce the highly visible spark plug terminals, which had a big NGK on them.
Besides, in 2 or 3 years, Harleys AND Hondas will probably be MADE IN CHINA. Isn't everything else?
My Navy son in Sasebo sent me a copper statue of a Harley--Or at least what Japanese artists think a Harley is. The carbs (2!) are on the exhaust pipes!!!
This "Japanese" artwork of an "American Classic" was MADE IN CHINA.
