New Foam. Black leather, raised ribs and piping. All perfectly matched to the original (the completed seat).
Join Via Meccanica and Jalopnik As We Check Out A Vintage BMW Motorcycle That’s Headed To Antarctica – Live! Ok, so the future is uncertain and sometimes ‘Live!’ doesn’t work out perfectly. We had some technically difficulties in the filming of this one, but the story is just so good that we’re sharing it anyway.
It’s always an honor to have a seat in a prestigious custom show, but more than that, it’s wonderful to get to work with such talented builders to realize a finished product. For this Revival Cycles build, we went with a classic ‘Museum’ brown leather and long thin ribs to compliment the tailored build perfectly. So nice to see it all together in person!

Barbour, Ducati Triumph NY, and my good friend and fellow Miss-Fire, Head tech mechanic Kerry Sano teamed up to built this custom Triumph Scrambler, inspired by Steve McQueen and the Great Escape bike. It needed a seat to compliment it and hwat else than for Barbour to pay homage to the International jacket that McQueen made famous.
