If your curious on where the 2014 Harley Davison HD street is being made, your on the same boat as every one on here
Well, I found the answer while snooping around and found out that the U.S model of both the Street 500 & 750 will be assembled in the Kansas City plant however they are not saying where it's being manufactured. Further investigation needed
As for the European and Indian HD Steet 500 & 750 model is actually being built in India.
If you Google "HD Street 750" you'll find a number of Indian publications discussing this new bike. If you read further, where they talk about production, you find something interesting. The production facility in India has not actualy been built yet!
Yes, there is a CKD facility (Complete KnockDown. ie assembling full kits from HDUSA) and it is to be expanded for actual production, but this is still in progress. Sub contrators are still being lined up. Initial Street prodution will probably be CKD as well.
So we know Street 500s are allready coming off the line in KC (Rider training versions), well, if there is no current factory to make them in India, then just where are these coming from? Or are folks still determined to ignore the obvious . . .
If they are being assembled in Kansas City, doesn't that just mean they have to source the parts from other places. The different parts could come from a whole bunch of different places worldwide. So while it is a bit of a mystery where all the parts are coming from, I don't think that Harley has a separate factory that only produces HD Street parts.
The Europeans don't seem to have a choice but to get charged almost double for the indian HD Street Model. Have you seen the break down of the prices? omg.

I think that a lot of the price differential is because of the import taxes. Bikes that are built domestically should cost less than bikes from foreign countries because of this.
Does Harley build all its bikes in the USA? I know its a quintessential American brand.

This is true, importing isn't cheap but they will make it cheaper shoving as much as they can on the ship, truck or how ever they're transporting it before it takes off.
Since it's going to be a mass produced bike I guess we can expect parts to be made in a number of places and then shipped to the HD factories to be put on the bike. Anything can happen really
Has anyone tried trading in their Street? I'm most likely to trade-in my street 500 depending on the trade-in value, the Harley dealer I got it from has a guaranteed 4.5k value trade-in applied to new bikes certain conditions apply. Seeing as how I've chopped my bike a bit pretty sure I broke...
I don't know if anyone else had a laugh or not.
I was being a good new bike owner and reading my manual.
anyway I get to the section on running in my new motor and it states that I have to keep the motor under 5000 rpm for the first 80 km.
now I would love to know how they are expecting me...
Hi all, I’m 500 miles in to my new street 750. I’ve noticed a more progressive clicking sound, kinda like ticker tape in the wheels of a bicycle or something. Gets more progressive with higher revs/speed. It’s really annoying. Has anyone come across this?
I thought it would be a good idea for people to list here any problems they've had with their street 500 / 750 . Also, talk about what your mechanic / dealership says and how to prob;em was resolved. Perhaps if we see patterns with issues it might help us with problems figure stuff out for...
Any recommended ear plugs that work with helmet headset/intercom? Since I installed a gauntlet fairing on my Street, the wind noise at high speeds has been elevated to unhealthy levels which necessitated ear plug use. I tried using foam ear plugs but they render my communication headset...
