    Was just watching as well. I can remember when the Harley's first came to the class. What a different sound the have. Music to my ears.. Sad to see the season come to a close.

    i only asked cause i used to rechrome alot of harley parts and all the new parts were stamped by japaneze sounding company names on the back.i can't remember but something like yokico and showa or something like that.
    ok i looked it up and its very sketchy.
    Harley Parts:
    h-d filters are made by purolator

    the new forged wheels come from Alcoa.

    The new fuel injection is a made by Delphi which is GM (Delco was it's old name)

    Lower cases and cylinders are cast by Mercury Marine Illinois)

    electronics (Module) are now made by Delphi,

    forks and shocks are from Showa USA!

    Starter motor - manufactured in Marryville TN

    Brakes - Vadlex - Ohio

    bearings, INA

    Dunlop tires are made in the US but then you see things like this that show something entirely different.
