A junkie will buy regarless of origain. Just to get a rush. My impression is that if one is a Harley junkie it will not make any differrance where the bike is built.

I've heard that upper management is planning on eventually farming out all the product modeling and detailing work to them leaving only new product design engineering functions in the U.S. The company I work for and the previous one with similar product lines, both have large engineering firms in India.

WL cylinders coming from there can only be used as boat anchors. The batteries last 30 days, tops then start pouring out acid unmercifully all over you paint. If HD builds over there, they will have to control QC with an iron fist. Put me down as thinking it is a BAD idea to manufacture HDs in India. I agree with Mike.

With the recent losses (thanks for the insight Cyril - 4 billion!!) HD experienced there is definitely something in the winds ($$$) picked up by some big players. Definitely worth digging a little deeper in any economy. Cheers, John E.

I do not believe that things have changed in India to the extent necessary to make a good bike. Harley will get buried in warranty claims if they do not do their own castings. Harley will never be able to get the quality of castings needed if they outsource them in India. Should any readers be from India, your castings suck.
