When most of us hear the word “made in the USA” or think of an “all-American” brand, Harley Davidson quickly comes to our mind. For decades the Harley Davidson has been synonymous with American manufacturing and know-how. But in a new globalized world even the most famous “all-American” brand could not survive without global supply chains. So interestingly like many other industries, most Harley Davidson OEM parts and components nowadays are also produced outside of the United States. However the Harley Davidson motorcycles sold in the U.S. are still assembled inside the country. There are still four active Harley-Davidson plants located in three states. But many of its important parts and components such as the motorcycle suspension, the brakes, the clutches, the engine pistons, and most of the electronics are manufactured abroad in Japan, Italy, China, Austria, and Mexico and are then imported to the USA.
