any AMERICAN MADE harley branded accessories?

hello,
proud new owner of a 2008 dyna glide custom 105th anniversary (
http://concealedcarryforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6000 ) harley. im
in the process of accessorizing it and buying safety gear for myself and im
quite disappointed to find that all the harley branded accessories appear to
be made in china (like most all walmart junk). is there another line that
is american made? i dont mind paying more to avoid selling out to china.
thanks,

when you roll over and accept it (by buying it anyway) you endorse it. this
is why im seeking an alternative even if it cost more.

Hey, Montana Nat,
Welcome to r.m.h.! Nice bike, btw. The nature of this forum is
that it represents a biker bar/ local hangout. Local to a-thousand-

...but there are distinct differences here.

1- i dont really have much choice in the truck sincere there is no all
american made 1 ton truck. at least it has an american made engine.
2- "dodge" never stood for anything, it certainly doesnt mean so much to so
many. "harley davidson" means something, as it has always stood for
american accomplishment and represented the very best that we were capable
of (er, AMF years not included).

as an american icon it disappoints me that the pair of harley boots i wanted
say "made in china".
