:soapbox: There is a certain percentage that has to be met in order to claim the Made in America toe tag. It is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. There are loopholes and vague statements to allow for multiple interpretations. Lets say more than 50% of the manufacturing cost must be American. What all can they fit in that "Manufacturing Cost" is up to a group of lawyers and a creative CFO's interpretation. The FTC does not require prior approval to claim the Made in the USA moniker. However, a company must be ready and able to substantiate the claim if such claim is made. I can't find what percentage Harley claims is of American origin and I am not entirely sure they are required to.

U.S. content must be disclosed on automobiles and textile, wool, and fur products. There’s no law that requires most other products sold in the U.S. to be marked or labeled Made in USA or have any other disclosure about their amount of U.S. content. However, manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content in their products must comply with the FTC’s Made in USA policy.
If you want to buy something truly made in America you are going to have to travel back in time about 60 years.
Globalism has benefits and drawbacks for all. IMO the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Some food for thought: The Honda of America plant in Marysville, Ohio and the Kawasaki Plant in Nebraska both are motorcycle manufacturing plants, not assembly plants.
They employ many Americans and put billions of dollars into our economy.
