USW is off-base here. The bikes built at these plants (Thailand, India etc) are intended for sale within those markets only. In the case of the India plant, it’s for “Complete Knocked-Down” units i.e. the entire bike is manufactured in the US, but is shipped to India disassembled, and finished at the assembly plant inside India. This allows it to bypass the 104%(!) tariff India imposes on imported motorcycles, while still allowing Harley to sell to a market that can’t get enough of their bikes.
