Seats

The Mesinger No.1 Cushion Suspension seat goes back to the year 1915 when it was first used on a Harley-Davidson and other American brands. The factory stopped offering it as stock equipment around 1925 but it stayed popular for its narrow and more sporting shape. The saddle top has a freely suspended center section which is adjustable by means of the front tensioner screw. Besides stock mountings it also fits all large saddle tees 1934-up so it can be easily retro-fitted on later models. The saddle top is made of top quality genuine leather and sports the stamped Mesinger logo just like the the original pattern.

Excellent reproduction of the famous Mesinger No.3 Cushion Suspension seat which was used from 1925 thru 1933 on Indian and Harley twins as well as by Excelsior-Henderson on their 1929 thru 1931 KJ models. This saddle’s top has a freely suspended center section which is adjustable by means of the front tensioner screw, a feature that makes the Mesinger No.3 one of the most comfortable solo seats of them all. Luckily it fits all large saddle tees 1934-up so it can be easily retro-fitted on later models. The saddle top is made of top quality genuine leather and sports the stamped Mesinger logo just like the the original pattern.

Top notch reproduction of the Mesinger No.4 Cushion Suspension seat which was used on all brands of American bikes during the 1920’s and 1930’s. It differs from the Mesinger No. 3 only in that it has a slightly narrower and differently shaped rear pan. This saddle’s top has a freely suspended center section which is adjustable by means of the front tensioner screw for excellent comfort. Fits all large saddle tees 1934-up so it can be easily retro-fitted on later models. The saddle top is made of top quality genuine leather and sports the stamped Mesinger logo just like the the original pattern.

Phantastic reproduction of the legendary Mesinger Racer seat, which was equipment of most American race bikes during the Teens and Twenties. Absolutely perfect down to the last detail, handcrafted by a master saddler using the finest cowhide available. It is really good to know that such guys still exist. Certainly looks cool on Old School Bobbers or Retro Racers, too, definitely better than bicycle saddles.

These seats are still made by the original manufacturer and therefore 100% authentic. The Deluxe version sports a rubber skirt with diamond style trim pieces.

Faithful reproductions of the H-D Solo Seats with non-vented (= undrilled) seat pan and open, unrolled edges as it was original 1934-1939. Just like the factory counterparts they feature thin stuffing for slim appearance. Another nice detail is the patent stamp on the bottom leather strip. These seats sport excellent craftsmanship and top quality leather.

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 turning 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).
