This move has generated concern among American customers and workers, particularly those in Wisconsin, where Harley-Davidson is based.
The company plans an additional nine million dollars investment in its US facilities, emphasizing that the shift is temporary.

The International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers has expressed disappointment, feeling the company is turning its back on American workers.
