I heard that many harley parts are made overseas, and not in the good old U.S.of A.

Yep, some parts are foreign made. This is nothing new though. Most of the suspension parts have been Jap for as long as I can remember. Some of the carbs, certain electrical too. There are more foreign parts now ,but they are made to H.D. specs.

Most of the parts are outsourced in the East or Mexico Even some of the engine parts are built by Japan Honda but are assembled in the USA. If the forks on them (and most are ) Made by SHOWA that is a Honda owned factory

Some are outsourced. Just like Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, or anything else American made.

Truth be told, most U.S. companies today outsource. I am having a difficult time accepting this and I don't think I'll ever get over it.

Mostly cheap off-shore crap now. If they thought they could get away with it it'd all be made in Mexico, in a heartbeat. Willie G, the G stands for Greed.

You know darn well where the forks are made.
And the aftermarket tidbits are made in Taiwan. So what?
Shut up and RIDE.
