Real Harleys have been built in Japan as far back as the 30's and 40's.
They called the bikes they built over there a Rikuo, or Road King.
Harley sold them all the stuff, molds, machines , blue prints and Japan paid them a royalty or money for
each design.
Because of the depression and all they stayed afloat like this.
This also helped the Japanese learn a lttle thing called mass production.
And yes this made everything they made to fight us in WWII a little better because Harley sold them this stuff.
So when you hear a Harley dude get all proud of his American made ride, tell that person you know where
they were built a long time ago and maybe but I hope not, this probably helped to kill some of his kin folk as well.
That's heavy Al
I just returned the call....Have your machine call my machine
