Buddy Seats

Said to be an idea of William S. Harley and certainly one of the best accessories the factory ever made. When the Buddy Seat was first offered in 1933 it almost instantly became one of the top sellers among the accessories. At last there was an exciting and comfortable possibility for passenger transportation. The keepers of moral and order sure would have preferred the retention of the (never popular) tandem seats but once the Buddy Seats had been introduced on the market there was no turmimg back. “There´s no better experience in life than a ride with one´s favourite girl holding on tight when the day is summer warm, the road good and the V-twin is running smooth” (Herbert Wagner). Our reproduction seats are available in different versions, covered with high quality leather.

Faithful reproduction of the Buddy Seat as used on the last Knuckleheads and early Panheads.

Excellent reproduction of the buddy seat how it was offered by the factory as an accessory in the years 1954-1959. Nice saddlery made from top grain leather with authentic nickle spots on the skirt.
