neighbor of mine, the vein on his forehead swells and face gets red..when I tell that his harley has (offshore)..thats a polite expression.. parts on it??
some of the newer harleys are using SHOWA front forks..this is a honda company..electronic ignition by
HATACHI...efi ..marelli..brembro brakes..etc etc ?? please excuse my spelling!
so anyway he goes on to tell me everybody copied harleys
V twin engine in a motorbike!...(this took a little research)... MATCHLESS (brit motorbike) in 1904 was available with a JAP (j.a.prestwich) V twin engine??
and I believe INDIAN motocycles.. this is correct spelling
...was using a V twin before harleys V twin in 1908??

 I was told that you can build a HD from scratch with ALL Aftermarket parts, non of them made in the US. That would be 0% US or American made.  Almost every bolt on that I've added to my RS was made in the US or Canada (I consider them US)
