Posted by Bill Pearson Some Kawasakis are/were built in Lincoln NB. Not really bike related, but remember the Chrysler? used to be a domestic. It's not now. Owned by the Germans, many are built in Mexico. Pisses me off when they are still referred to as one of the "big three". The window sticker of all new cars now must show the percent of forign components. Canada isn't considered forign. Forks on my Sportster were cast "Made in Japan" on the inside where you can't read it. It was a 1975. I suspect there are lots of Harley components sourced outside the US. Still an American Company though. I'm sure there are lots of forign stock holders in it. There was a time when I tried to buy only domestic produts. I was fooled to many times. Truely is a global world. Now I just buy what I like.

I think there are a couple of Hondas built in Marryville Ohio. The Gold Wing and Shadow..think. Also the Accord. And the last time I knew they used steel from Bethlehem in Portage, IN.
