Tell you what, I am just going to ignore your response since it is based on no verifiable information on your part, and give you time to look it up for yourself... the information is available. Attached is a couple of pictures of some boxes that my Indian floor board replacements came in... TW stands for Taiwan, which is an island that is China by any other name. Sorry they are not better pics, but the green arrow points to the words "Country of Origin... TWWhat magazine did you see that in ? I think the motors are made in Minnesota & shipped to Iowa where assembly takes place. FYI -- Factory rep told me this bike is all American Made. Would like to get verification of this, Maybe Polaris can answer that question. I've been told by HD guys that a lot of the parts for there bikes are made in China. All I know is that I LOVE MY #1706 CHIEFTAIN no matter where the origin of parts come from. I wouldn't think Polaris would give a 5 year warranty with foreign parts in these great bikes.
Whoa there slick... a question was asked, answered, disputed, re-answered... that's what the forum is for. If it upsets you then do NOT click on the subject line.Why dwell on this? globalization affects us all. I hear HD uses more import parts. But how much will never know. Polaris based in Minnesota is a global company with facilities in 9 countries. Motor built here in Wisconsin. The car with the most USA parts is a Toyota Camry go figure.
Right... you seem to have an in when it comes to calling Indian about trivia. Who do you talk to? If the picture I posted isn't clear enough for you, then nothing will ever educate you to the reality of motorcycle parts. Other than your imaginary friend at Indian, who has your number??? LOLI called indian about the indian floor board replacements that Skip claims are imported from Taiwan & there response was that they are made in OKLAHOMA, USA. Maybe the box is made in Taiwan, who knows ?
Well Skip, fair is fair. Where is your verifiable information? You said it was in an article you read. Instead of sending us on a wild goose chase, why don't you point out the source of the article that you read your information from. Without it, it is unverifiable BS.Tell you what, I am just going to ignore your response since it is based on no verifiable information on your part, and give you time to look it up for yourself... the information is available.

I disagree with that.If we are going to call someone out the Manufactures are the one you need to hold accountable
